My heart pounded deep within my throat. The rhythmic sound reminds me of your presence, the beating against my bones makes my body jitter.
I looked for you in every chance of passing, hoping to catch your eyes.
The honey that yellows in the sun.
Your energetic hair that animates with your every movement, dancing with the beat of your steps. I felt like throwing up when you caught my eyes.
Your smile shocked me, so much so that I found myself walking with no destination, aimless steps away from you.
In class I waited for your figure to walk through the door and when you would strut in, my thoughts would finally stop pestering me.
You knew the answer to every question, a pleased smirk settling on pink lips.
I found myself enamored by all aspects of you.
The crimson that seeped my skin
A feverish heat that followed.
"Care to be partners?"
Those were the first words you spoke to me.
Your eyes switched between mine and the papers in your hands.
"Sure" I replied, intrigued by your modulated tone.
You gave an awkward smile and sat beside me.
My body stiffened and I returned the smile, it being more of a gesture to myself since you were so focused on our new task.
After being dismissed you told me to meet you in the library to work on the project, you always were very work oriented.
I counted down the minutes until I was able to dash to our meeting place,
Receiving odd glances at my hurried march.
I sat beside you and again I was greeted by your smile, one that I melted into.
Your eyes stuck to mine longer than usual,
A slight turn of your lips, faint brushes between skin.
Hours flew by and your flattering words made me feel all the more weightless.
I left soaring over the moon,
nothing could wipe the incredibly wide smile off my face when you kissed my cheek.
Your lips burning a hole I never wanted to heal.
I ran through the grounds that night squealing all the way to my dorm room, trying to release the energy that was building in my chest.
We met up countless times after that, your sweet demeanor and lingering touch solidified my love.
We collided beneath the stars, danced in the tallest tower, kissed under the vibrant moon.
Every night with you was an adventure, I finally felt alive.
My love belonged to the twilight.
It belonged to the cascading shadows of the castle, and the stars that decorated the sky.
My heart swelled when you came to me, and I wished we could always stay embraced.
But.
I was not a love to be proud of,
I was kept in the embrace of the moon for good reason.
He was your sun,
Your lover to everyone else.
