Gentle

 

Instead of giving me a necklace

Made up of his hands

 

We sit in his Grand Cherokee

And listen to our favorite bands

 

Instead of holding my leash, I mean my wrist

And dragging me around

 

He doodles on my body with his fingertips

Without making a sound

 

Instead of choosing Counter Strike

over my voice on the phone

 

He listens to me talk for hours

And asks about my birthstone
