There's always a home for you
here in my heart
I'll leave a light
on.
– Ben Maxfield

when I was ten
there was a boy
with golden hair
jade eyes
and dimples on both cheeks
that tore me
apart.

he was beautiful
in the way
he was too shy around me
that I could swear his cheeks flushed
into rose petals
he was beautiful
in the way
everyone seemed to love him
he was beautiful
in the way
his report cards were only ever B's and C's
he was beautiful
even in the way
he ruined me.

I could only ever admire him from
a far
because I found it weird on how

my ribcage
when he would pass by
I never experienced
the
adrenalin in my blood
that made my body go crazy
just by seeing him
I knew
that if I talked to him
