Love Poem: Ladder

Ladder

He's got blue eyes 
that are darker than mine
and his smile
shakes my knees for awhile.

What I like 
most about him:
he's the perfect height 
when I stand next to him.

I don't know what it is about me 
that he likes, but he does though;
and lucky for me
there's a ladder to his window.

He's not scared of the word love,
said it was invented for us
and I believe it too.
God. His eyes are so blue.

He says I make his hands shake,
but he's too embarassed to explain
so I don't ask
but I do know that...
He can climb tall trees
and my windows never really closed,

and lucky for me 
there's a ladder to his window.
