She

ii

She convinced herself that nobody wanted to be with someone so dark and sad.

What she had not know is that he wanted to explore her darkness. Get lost in it eventually, but only to find a crack of light and pry it open.

But he still stared into space like everyday. But when she had her head buried in the book she was reading he would study her.

Study her short curl black hair. Study her glasses and how her nose wrinkled when they fell. Study how her feet dangled from the seat. Study how she always had a different sweatshirt everyday. Study how she would sometimes look up and smile out thw window. Study how when people interuputed her she would give a witty remark. And study how her big brown eyes didn't hold any life within them.
