Jaehyun,

As young boys

we met up in secret.

I wondered what it was like to

see me a mess.

I stumbled over my words

over again and over again and over again.

It was all your fault and you didn't even know.

I'd meet your mom and she'd offer me food

but I'd tell her I'm okay.

You'd push me away when

I wanted a hug.

You were scared of falling in love

and I was scared of falling too hard.

Even though you didn't seem to want me

I knew we both wondered,

"How can I be without you?"

We got together during the winter.

You took me in your arms

and it felt like paradise

even if I was shivering.

Our temperatures reached a equal

and our heats collide.

Just as our hearts did.

We didn't need to shiver if we were together.

Now you take me in your and arms,

you hold me like never before.

You could touch me and wear me

like a new pair of clothes.

You could pet and praise me

like a new puppy.

I learned how my mind and body

craves for you

and I thought I'd never get a frostbite.

This is when I learned

there are all types of life

all types of love

but never the same twice.

We'll be alright,

please try again.

- John
