Do you want to know a secret?
I’m in like.

With who?

I can’t tell you.

Why?

It’s a secret.

Give a clue.

He’s the first person you’d expect,
And the last person you’d think of.
He’s the first person I see,
And the last to notice me.
He’s the funniest in a crowd,
And the most serious alone.
He’s got the best smile,
And he doesn’t use it.
He’s friendly,
And doesn’t talk to you.
He’s proud,
And ashamed.
He’s nothing
And everything.

What’s his name?

It’s many
All together.
It’s powerful,
And funny.
It’s things like
‘Scooba Steve’
and things like
Mike.
It’s well thought out
And quickly come up with.
It’s all of him,
And nothing like him.

How much do you like him?

I like him
As much as
the tide likes the sand
the sky likes the clouds,
the Earth likes the trees,
the rain likes the puddles.
I like him
As much as
Cat likes dog,
Employee likes coworker,
Yale likes Harvard
And Boy likes Girl.
I like him
As much as
Everything
And nothing
Together.

Where do you feel it?

I feel it
In my arms,
where he last touched me,
in my head,
which he’s invaded,
in my lungs,
with every breath I take,
in my heart,
which is where he resides.
I feel it
Everywhere
And nowhere.

Why do you like him?

I like him
Because he’s funny,
Because he’s strong,
Because he’s smart,
Because he’s sweet,
Because he’s courteous,
Because he’s friendly,
And because
He’s loving.
I like him
For every reason
And none at all.

Now you’ve given me so many clues.
Who is he?

He is
My brain,
My arms,
My legs,
My dreams,
And my heart.
He is
All of me
And so he is
Nothing at all.
