The Boy in You

When I see you
I see the little boy,
Dreams you dreamed,
The look you have that searches my soul,
for acceptance and the approval.

The feeling it creates in me,
wanting to nurture and build,
and be that collapsible yet solid space,
for us to fall.

That kind bottomless sea of understanding,
into me sea,
All that we need,
all that we want,
always,
You don't have to pull my hair,
I see you unconditionally,
We love.
