things i love about boys - (physical attribute edition)
- hair. all types of hair are so beautiful to me. i love thick, poofy hair. it can amuse me for hours and i adore playing with it and making little space buns. i love thin, straight hair. i can tuck it behind his ear right before i kiss him good morning. i love all colors, lengths, everything. they play with it? always? absolutely adorable, i need a moment.
- skin. there is something so raw and human about our skin. and the blemishes, scars, colors, tattoos, freckles, stretch marks, and patches are all lovely, because they're a part of you. skin can receive tender touch, the sharp sting of art, and all of life's best sensations.
- brows. it is said that the human face holds the capacity to produce 10,000 facial expressions. but, i swear, every guy has his own unique one. they fly upward when he's surprised, and crinkle together when he's concentrating. always slightly disheveled as he rolls out of bed.
- eyes. good god, i have to stop myself from writing a paragraph about irises alone. eyes hold so much emotion. the way they get wide when he gets excited about something. the way the upper lids droop slightly when he gets sleepy - yet, he'll protest; "sleep is for da weak!"
- noses. are so cute? the way they scrunch together and wiggle? the most boopable feature of the human body. additionally, when a snowflake lands on his nose and he tries to lick it off. eskimo kisses with mugs of steaming hot cocoa. even the occasional sniffles. agh.
- lips. many uses. kisses, of course, are among my favorites. although, i can't help but crack up at his lemon face. the duck lips when posing for an impromptu selfie. those adorably awkward thin-lipped smiles he gives to strangers on the street. what is he doing..?
- shoulders. fantastic?? perfect headrests for sleepy afternoons. essential safety feature during piggyback rides. when he gets stressed, you can massage them; he'll let out the biggest, most satisfied sigh. small shrugs. huge, animated, cartoon shrugs. AGH.
- hands. immaculate. small hands to kiss and hold. big hands to envelop your own. the Intimidating Knuckle Pop used to scare off pesky siblings in the background of phone calls. chilly hands that you can warm up. interlacing fingers?? wrapping around my neck and ch-
- tummies. VERY GOOD QUALITY. small tummies? pudgy tummies? tummies with stretch marks? all beautiful and good. when you use them as a pillow, and he softly goes 'oof'? when you cook a meal together, and they get excited because this is going to be so good.
- legs. despite their ability to steal every goddamn blanket off the bed and couch, they are also very good while snuggling. especially when they wrap around your waist like a baby koala?? i don't know what you're doing, sir, but it is adorable. do it again. wholesome stuff.
