the boy

boy has blue eyes and blonde hair

boy has pink cheeks and bad jokes

boy has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

pairs of ribs that stick out (i checked) 

just in case boy was me

boy has hot, damp breath on my neck

boy has hands that give me butterflies

boy has a big smile and a big frown

and when boy thinks a big thought his nose

scrunches up at the top

boy has a leather jacket and i pull him in by the collar

boy has soft lips that kiss hard

boy has fingers tangled in my hair

so my mind goes blank and my heart beats fast

because oh, my boy, my boy.
