Boys

Some boys are insincere. They lie to you about their age, their relationship status, whether they have kids or not, and how much they really like you just to get a chance to get into your pants.

Some boys are emotionally unavailable. They keep things light and fun so you never question why none of their friends know about you, and they dodge affection like it isn't real.

And there are some boys who will tell you that they're sorry when they make a mistake, and when you say "it's okay", they will tell you it's not and give you a hug that means "thanks for being patient with me". These are the boys that will look into your eyes while laying on top of you and tell you that you are gorgeous, and when you try to dismiss it as a tired line and say nothing to acknowledge it, they will not let you kiss them, even though you try to. Instead, they will catch your eyes and ask again and again - "You're gorgeous. Do you know that?" And after enough times, you will skeptically ask, "Really? You think so?" And they will say yes and kiss you on your forehead in such a way that when you fall asleep in their arms, you will truly believe that you are more than just beautiful in their eyes.
