You’re real.
That’s all that matters to me.
When I reach out my hands,
I feel the sweat
and the muscles.
You’re real
and it’s all I could ask for,
the fact that you’re real
and so devoted to me.

So maybe I’m misguided
and maybe I don’t see.
And after this,
so bloody long,
I remain the
bright-eyed naïve.

Your hand,
moving over my body,
so still I’m afraid it’s death.
It’s like I’ll shatter
if you touch me too hard.
Your hand
brushes tears from my eyes.
I’ll pretend that you’ll
stay now,
however wrong that
idea would seem.

All I ask
is you lay down your love
for this pitiful
bright-eyed naïve.

So maybe I’m misguided
and maybe I don’t see.
And after this,
so bloody long,
I remain the
bright-eyed naïve.

I’m weaker now
than I’ve ever been.
Please don’t ever leave
the bright-eyed naïve.

No, I'm not this gone. Maybe a little. My best male friend in the city, or at least ex best male friend in the city, who I haven't seen since December, turned 20 yesterday. Two years ago on that very day, I was sure I'd never see him again, and it's probably bad that it's taken this long for it to all settle out.

Ah well, my best grrl friend turns 20 in a week, so I can focus on that. The only natural red-head I know! She's a keeper.

I think, maybe, no longer naive

I like the way you made this feel, Anvrill; it will be a pleasure to watch you grow, poetically...

If you've come this far (and not gotten killed) then I'd say that constitutes as not so naive...

(smiles) Oh Anvrill, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I believe at first sight we always feel naive around loves face but when we take time to implore from behind the face, we know we had a reason to feel this special way! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anvrill, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
