Looking for him in the hallway, 

tall as a tree, with the most luscious hair.

When you spot him, you see him grinning from ear to ear. 

He comes up to you and he hugs you. 

His hugs are the warmest things in the world, 

he squeezes, not too tight where you can’t breathe,

but just enough to make you feel safe in the world. 

After the hug, you guys talk

and even after knowing each other for so long

you still get butterflies in your stomach, 

that make you want to throw up

from how nervous you get, 

but suddenly, 

that feeling, 

it’s gone. 

Before leaving each other

he gives you a kiss on the cheek 

and whispers “I love you”

his whisper is so gentle

you can hardly hear it.
