10 things that I adore about YOU

your smell, 
the energy that I receive from you
the way you look at me
the way you almost kiss me
the way you just allow my hand in yours
the way you hold me in front of a garage door
the way you playfully slide your tong on your bottom
teeth
the little wrinkles under your eyes when you smile
the way you respond to elbow burns amidst foreign
sheets
the way you put your hand on my back in the middle of
the night
and the 11th, the way I long for you

but these are all I know of you, what am I to do?
you who dislike rhyme.
