The thought of his vows when he gets married... omg.

[ahblezasellars]

The fact/way that he messed up actually played perfectly into the nervousness of the character in his poem. A fantastic mistake with perfect timing.

Women crave to be loved like this, totally wholeheartedly fearlessly loved.

[jaminerobinson]

I'm just sitting here smilin' like he my man  -.-

[diamondhancock]

yo imagine somebody this geeked over you💕🙌

[yogaarif]

God: "Goddamn he's good."

[midnightmave]

I love when he said "That's why sometimes when we hold hands, every so often, I hold on a little too tight. I just don't want to lose you again, " and some woman screamed yes. She felt that in her soul and so did I.

[kristenmouton]

that moment (at 3:14) is so beautiful, when rudy stumbles a bit in the poem and the crowd gives him love... what I love so much about the Write About Now community. There's always so much love in the room. I performed my first poem here and I can't wait to go back. The best part of the night are the people you'll meet.

"Sometimes I pray that God somehow turns you back into one of my ribs just so I would never have to spend an entire day without you."
Damn. Confirmed: Rudy is actually a genius.

[beebs]

When he said, "I'd massage your back until your skin sings songs your lips don't even know the words to", I lost it. Chills, tears (from both sadness & the beauty of his words), and screamed, "Yes!!!" way too many times.

I work at starbucks, and i know it sounds stupid but i love rudy and makes me feel loved

[sarianelouis]

"I wanna be your ex-boyfriend's stunt man. I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do....like trust you."
I want to live a second life as a guy to tell this to a girl so she can light up. And then, I want to live a third life as myself where I didn't hear this poem until after my boyfriend used this line on me and I feel harder for him. This is beautiful.

[amber-nicole]

Thank you for messing up. It was perfect. I felt beautiful.

[dianegaile]

THIS IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST POEM I'VE EVER HEARD

[marina-mxqt]

"If I woke up one day and decided I was gonna write about love, I would write about how I love you the way I loved to learn how to ride a bike. Scared, but wreckless. With no training weels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you." 💗💗💗💗

[neverready]

The girl that screamed yes. I'm with you. You were not alone

[jumokeopeyemi]

The amount of times I have watched all his poems is unhealthy. Such a huge fan

[Allison]

I love how, even when Rudy messed up, the audience showed him love and he continued EVEN STRONGER than before. Love this man!

[sunflowertrashcan]

I NEVER get tired of listening to Rudy. I have heard this same poem and the entire love poems series at least 10 times and i still love every single one and never skip them. A man this good with words is so sexy!

[kristencg]

When he says “I swear when our lips touch I can taste the next sixty years of my life.” I felt that and I had to pause it and just take it all in. 🙃🙃❤️❤️
