a year on, I don't feel they same for him anymore, I have peeled away from one and found myself stuck to another

time stood still. I was frozen. my gaze would not leave his face. every breath I took, I found a new freckle, blemish or hair the way his lips came to a point in the corner. how his eyebrow curved pointing down to a fully risen cheekbone, the cheekbone of a greek god. I could stay like this for hours counting every pore.
getting lost in you is all I ever want to do.
my eyes drawn to yours, drowning in the pools of blue
I can't pull away but neither could you.

on our walk past the shore I pondered to myself if this could ever be my future.
a peaceful stroll till the end of my journey,
would it include you?

I wont let my feelings slip in fear of you not having any, maybe I should blow a wish on a penny throw it down a well and pray you feel the same, that I'm not playing someone else's game.
