I like boys

I like the way they smell

Not the stinky after PE or

Basketball practice smell

But the

Mmm

Powder

Mmm

You use lotion?

Just took a shower this is a clean shirt my momma washed smell

I like boys

I like the way they walk

Not the fake swagger like they're

Such hotshots or cool dudes

But the

I'm tired from a long day don't rush me cuz I have

All the time in the world

Relaxed, slow walk

Giving you time to catch up

And not have to walk home

Alone

I like boys

I like the way they show off

When they want to impress you

How they try to do something cool

But then mess up and end up

Looking like total doofuses

But that just makes them cuter

Shh, don't tell them I said that

I like boys

I like the way their eyes light up

When you give them food

And they smile at you like

You gave them the world

Like

You are the world

I like boys

I like the way their skin feels

The cool calm of their face

Pressed against yours

Or

Their hand on your belly button

Or their hand connected to yours

Like

Legos

I like boys

I like the way they dress

Sometimes they don't care at all

What anyone thinks

Whatever is the new style

And sometimes

They don't match

But

It matches them

I like boys

I like the way their eyes

Are the hardest books

To read

How

You can never know what they want

And never what they need

I like boys

I like the way they dance

In public

Like nobody is watching

But not caring

That they are

Just wiggling with no rhythm

To the music

And having fun

I like boys

I like the way they make me laugh

How the faces they make

Even their originals

Can just crack you up

Like Humpty Dumpty

And the jokes they make

Make no sense

But they make you laugh

Anyway

I like boys

I like the way they talk

The sweet things they say

Even when you know they don't mean it

Makes you smile anyway

Sweet lies that make you

Feel like

Someone beautiful

I like boys

I like the way they look at you

And make your cheeks all

Hot and flushed

Like

It's 100 degrees

While the AC is on

I like boys

I like the way they hug

I like the comfort of their soft shirts

And the special feeling of knowing

A boy

Is hugging you

I like boys

I like the way they make you feel

The tingle down your back

And the shiver up your spine

And the little hairs raising up

On your arms

And that pit feeling

Deep in your stomach

Sparkly

Like

A magic wand letting you know

You're safe and secure

In having a boy

Friend
