no one else gets it
when you say something
as corny/cliché/pop-culture
as
"laughing is merely smiling- out loud..."

no one else hears that
like
i
hear it.

i hear you say that;
you the dork, you the geek, you the inner-child,

and i want so badly to hold you
in a style unseen, in a manner unimagined,
i want to take you in my skin-protected limbs

and re-invent the hug,
re-invent the kiss,
re-invent passion,

peel away the shrink-wrap,
cut back on the cellophane,
undo pretenses and preservatives,
jump cut way back to before
such
things
were defined...

so you can know,
as i already do...
how precious and unique you really are.
