soft enough
to be inviting to touch
warm enough
to need me for comfort
wild enough
to make you want me more
coarse enough
to make you want to tame me
should you have me
i beg you, never let me go
because when i’m yours
i’ll be with you always
…unless you shave me. please don’t. sincerely, your beard
