want to know the truth?
i loved him
him and his strong shoulders,
sly smile
i loved the way he slouched
distracted,
eyes on the distance.
i loved his restlessness,
his desire to stay put for me
made me smile.
i loved the way he drove
eyes squinted in
concentration,
an elbow out the window
one hand on the top of the wheel
beating out the rhythms with his thumb
i mostly loved the way he loved,
without restraints
without inhibitions
without apology.
