What They All Say

A boy once told me

that he loved my body

and wanted to trace his fingers

down my spine.

He left ghost kisses and lingered in

my mind for many months.

A boy once told me

that I was the girl version of him

and I couldn't decided if that was a good

thing considering his many flaws.

He left me questions and forgot to give

me the answers to them.

A boy once told me

that he didn't want to lose me as

a friend and I wanted to know if he

ever intended to take things further.

He left me a bucket list of plans and gave

me no one to do them with.

A boy will tell me

that I am snowflakes screaming by

a sleepy car on an empty highway 

Christmas Eve night--beauty overlooked 

and under appreciated but not

easily forgotten.

He will leave me unguarded and for

once in my life, I will be

okay with that.

Similar to poems I've written in the past, I understand.

Well since I have only read one of your other poems, I don't mind if this is like others. I really liked this, it was fun and even though not supposed to be I think, lighthearted to me. It funny the things that cross our minds and prompt us to write. You have a very nice style to your wiring. I hope to read more. Very nicely penned.

Thank you very much! I have a poem very similar to this called "All the Boys Who Love Me"
