you were intimidated by him
his large arms
his scratchy beard
his intelligence
he held every part of what you wished you could be
i wonder how you would feel knowing that now
he is the one i spend my nights with
he is the one i kiss goodbye
and the one i let behind the walls of my mind
he has everything you ever wanted
even me
