I knew once a boy
Irrevocably in love with people
He stares at your little mouth
As it curves and laughs
He looks into your twinkly eyes
As they flicker so fast
He loves them
The colorful people
Walking around with little stories
His eyes blaze as you move
Your smile fresh and new
He looks curious as you talk
And hands move to explain
He sings along as you walk
Skipping lane to lane
He’s in love with them
The little people
Irrevocably so
Their look and sound
He talks of them
Like they’re his quirks
His personal little quirks
Indulgences of a kind
Keeping them in a collection
Saving them in his mind
He rolls his eyes
Rolls them at you
Shaking his head
Like he just knows you
He talks of you
In his full being
He speaks of you
Like you’re alive
Like every part of you
Is full and alive
He’s amused
By the people around
Endlessly amused
Irrevocably in love
With you
And your little life
