oh how you make me think.
another note,
another pause,
another idea.
from elaborate situations
and their meaningful purpose,
to unanswered questions
that spark familiarity.
you never once asked for permission.
you rest your head wherever you see fit.
where others are disgusted by your appearance,
many cling to your affection.
to your clean cut and gentleman like ways,
to your rowdy and unforgiving tendencies,
to your appreciative life loving lifestyle,
to your self-inflicted disappointment,
your outstretched hand does not waver
despite our judgmental eyes.
