"Homework: Finish this sentence. The person I currently/previously/hope to like-like is extraordinary because..."

"...he is a little kooky without overdoing it, and without trying too hard. because his mind is in more places than mine, and oftentimes on important things (or at least topics worthy of good conversation). because he's completely honest, even if he thinks it'll hurt me. because he asks questions and won't let me get away with "i'm tired." because he asks me to go outside with him on smoke breaks. because we both love good music and the components of it. because we both like clever. because he makes fun of my tiny feet. because he asks me to hang out when i could sit there without him. because he makes funnier faces than me, and because he's gentle. because he understands when i can't fully explain something, and told me i have nothing to be self-conscious about, because i'm beautiful. and because above all else, there is a great friendship between us, and he cares about that and about me enough to put that ahead of whatever else, even if it means sacrificing some things."
