Boys

I remember you
your piercing brown eyes and a smirk
you never really drew me in
not that quiet admiration that has drawn me in
so many times before

It was different
you were this little boy, with sunken shoulders
you were a chipmunk
and maybe someday
when you grow up some more
I'll think of you as more of a real boy

I haven't thought a lot about Geminis
you're the only one I know
But the only thing I think of when I hear
Gemini
is of green eyes
you don't have green eyes

So who are you?
You're not a Gemini
You're not a real boy
just this chipmunk
with sunken shoulders
and a smirk at all times
