He lulls you in 
With a sheepish grin
And his lip in a hint of a pout,
But the dark in his eyes
Is comprised of the lowest frequency of red,
And then every other color
In the rainbow.
Those eyes absorb
Everything.

He's standing,
Waiting,
Holding the door for me.

I'm walking,
Walking,
Never seem to get closer,
Like a dream.
I'm trotting now,
Trying not to make him wait.

I reach the door
And smile as I pass through,
But there's another door!
My smile is gone!
And where are you 
To open it for me?
