this is for you- the cute boy with radiant green eyes.

maybe it was the way he genuinely laughed at a joke,

or talked to his friends with sincere passion,

but something about him was different.

it was something you had to catch

within a seconds glimpse.


and he's just so beautiful as a person.

he has these radiant green eyes

and a smile that warms your heart.


and he's also got this brilliant mind-

he knows so much, but shares so little.

he listens

he observes

he  sits back and watches the world around him,

careful to notice the smallest of details.


I want to know him. 

I want to know his greatest dreams

and his biggest fears.

I want to know where he is

and where he wants to go in life.

I want to know his favorite games as a kid

and the story behind the scar under his left eye

and what his secret hobbies are.


there's so much i want to learn about him, but I don't think he even knows my name.
