Composed, deliberate, altruistic, orange.

Composed. (Obviously.)
Deliberate. (In everything he does, there is distinct purpose.)
Altruistic. (The kindest heart I've ever known.)
[An]orange. (Think exterior/interior kind of metaphor.)

My response to the request to, "describe the man you love in four words."

...This is Nelson. You know him as the boyfriend whose absence inspired the memory wall and the trip to Virginia. I know him as one of the most wonderfully complex human beings I know, and the one I love the most.

Perhaps I've said too much, but it seems to me, there aren't words to adequately describe this man. Then again, those of you who've been in love know exactly what I mean.
