The pants, tho…

Hey baby…

You know I've said before-
I wanna be your rock.

And I am.
I am rock solid for you.

Even more than you'd guess.

But, baby…
The heart that pumps the blood that lets me stand so tall and proud before you?

It can be awfully soft sometimes.
Has its tender spots.

ngl, I half suspect that's part of what draws you to me…
But yeah, sometimes it gets in the way.

But I bounce back, baby. I always do.
Even more solid than I was before.

But just so you know…

Next time I let myself look into those eyes?

I mean really look…

Not sure I'll ever look away again.
Not 'til I get to run my fingers through that lovely hair…
sigh

Hope you won't mind.

Yours.

PS — I know I spiraled for no good reason. But hey… gotta give the man one thing: he was objectively correct about those pants. 😮‍💨
