It was the way he moved
like he always knew
exactly what he was doing
moved not to mesmerize someone
just moving with ease.

I admire that, the strength
of his body when someone
tried to be faster and better
than him, but he knew
that no one stood a chance.

It scared me to death how
hypnotized I was by him
not only by his physical being
hypnotized by his spirit
like he was glowing from within.

It felt like falling the way I liked him
how much I felt, like I was cursed
he took my willing to scape
I’m a creek that emulates light
he can’t see me here.
