There was this boy,
I remember he smelled like autumn and winter had kissed,
He spoke in riddles,
And his lips tasted like Lipton passion fruit, orange, and Jasmine
Green tea, also, a lot like honesty.
His silence still fit right, as much as his sentences did.
He smiled like sunshine was a joke,
And whispered like moonlight was his native tongue.
His hands felt like guiding stars,
And his palms could hold comfort against yours.
If I could go back, to tell that boy one thing,
I'd say
Thank you,
For being you.
