You

You,

Snuck your way into my world

when all you were was a figment of my reality

-A distinct memory, a scattered melancholy-

Whose mild fascination

was easily ignorable 

because your space in my life

was next to minimal.

You snuck your way into my world.

You,

took my lips by surprise

with your legacy of vague talent,

mild words and

that slow crawl rhythm

that allowed you to

roll in and out of crowded moments

with easy momentum.

You took my lips by surprise.

You,

found a way to mark my body,

treating my touches like a toy

with the hands of a man,

and the mind of a boy.

You.
