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.

I'm watching his other performances where he aces this, but I still like this the best. Where he's nervous, the way he stutters and speaks too fast - it's all so genuine. His other performances are just too rehearsed, a lot of that emotion from the gut is just lost compared to this one.

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.

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

"I came back as a butterfly/I landed in the palm if your hand/You brushed me away and the rejection killed me" GOT damn son.

"I love you the same way I learned how to ride a bike - Scared, but reckless, with no training wheels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you". OMG that's adorable

Omg "i heard that love is blind so I write all of my poems in braille." Omggg that line was so dope!!!!!!!!!!!

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. 🙃🙃❤️❤️

think of the juxtaposition of god using his own name in vain

I also work at a starbucks, and I love it when people come in and meet people they end up meshing well with. I love it when people hit on the baristas sincerely - it's such a beautiful spark. And this reminds me not only of that, but of the amazing power of poetry ( we all write new things for love and lust) but so few are as stunning as this. P.s favorite bit: "I want to be your exboyfriend's stunt man. I want to do everything he didn't have the courage to do. Like trust you."

This girl from Starbucks inspired a hell of a beautiful poem

I claim that my husband will be this geeked over me! Amen! Rudy that was great poetry! Thank you for sharing.

True definition of a man. We sometimes lose ourselves in masculinity and don't spend the time to truly express what we are actually feeling in our heart of hearts💯

The energy of the audience is underrated.

One of my absolute favorite love poems. It always make me sob with a deep knowing of the love that I desire, I love that I am, the love that we all are ❤ Breathtakingly beautiful

“I wanna do everything he never had the courage to do...I wanna trust you!!” Heart melting, cheek to cheek grinning, tripped over my own foot, fell and landed at your feet-just to meet you kind of love! 🥰

To the girl screaming YESSS 🙌😂 I love her ♥️

"If your first lines are all about how You haven't even talked to her, About how you were too Tongue-stunned and cement-shoed at the sight of her In a cafe window While she was working, Rest assured this is NOT love.

I really didn’t even know he was messing up at first until he started reciting lines he already said. Anywho yeah I loved this poem!! Waiting on God to send me a man like this!

This kind of just restored my faith in humanity, or moreso- that love truly does exist.

6k in views and 0 dislikes has to be some sort of a KZread record, right?!

Him: I'm not a love poet Me: So that was a lie. Seriously though, I know he's obviously not talking to me but this poem just exudes love and I felt appreciated just basking in that glow. Amazing poem!

This will never get old. Amazing.

He has passed away now but my best friend Troy loved me this much. I'm blessed to have known this love.

Wow that’s a lot to remember what a beautiful poem!

Chills. Endless chills.

I've seen all of his videos more times than I can count and ask myself why do I still get goosebumps

I have never listened to this type of poetry before in my life. I stumbled upon this. And this was beautiful!

Owh Rudy!!! The lines so perfect!!!! I've written so many poems somehow thinking that you'd pop out of one of the pages, I love that!!!! Mwah!

One of my favorite poems from Rudy. I absolutely love this

I always come back to this poem. He describes what it's like so perfectly

One of the few times I am actually gushing over a love poem! So in love with this ❤

I haven’t felt this awestruck by any poem on here in a real long time... my jaw dropped and eyes widened when he started talking about coming back to find her

Yes Rudy!!!!!!!!!!!

I listen to this about 5 times a day. I am in love with this poem and his voice.

I'm a listen to two to three poems every 4-5 years. This this is so deep he had a brother with a tear 😭

I am screamingggg because I first read these poems in his book “Helium” and seeing it here live...him saying them is just-👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 my Lord.
