We share lunch,
stand and talk,
stargaze,
and even sit silently together
holding hands.
Through it all, he fascinates me.
His sense of humor,
gestures,
interests,
give me insights into _him_,
the inner Scott.
Here is a whole different,
unique human being.
We have little in common, yet all.
Go figure.
