one hundred-eleven.


action on foot.

i remember the day you
asked me to recite john 3:16
and ... i couldn't.

you looked me deep into my eyes
and i felt your iris latch on to mine
your neutral pink lips separated from one another
and you said i must be joking.

and i wasn't. and i was ashamed. because
i wanted to make you proud and i wanted you
to love me the same - and i thought you wouldn't.

but you did. like a gentleman, you spoke the scripture
to me and told me i need to know it, but i didn't know why
because i didn't know the Subject in the text like you did.

and i knew there was Love in you to share Love with me
in a public scenery without shame, just direct connect
between you and me and His words binding us within.

and i love you because He lives in you .
