the first day he set foot in my life
i never would've thought that
those brown eyes that looked like sweet sticky syrup when the sun shone on them would be the ones to make me feel at home as if i was home

and his calming scent
when i hug him he'd engulf me in
the faint mix of fabric softener and his deodorant

and his warm soothing hands
the ones that held my wrist as we ran across the field and laughed
the ones that ran over my scarred arms
would be the ones that ripped my heart out of my chest
