him

I did not fall in love with his face

I fell in love with his words

the way he smiled

the way he cared

the way he knew exactly how I was feeling before I said a word

I fell in love with his rough hands and passion for the world.

 

I did not fall out of love with who he was 

or why I used to love him

I grew up

found who I wanted to be 

I moved on

and he stayed right there

 in the field where I met him all those years ago.
