"Surely don't stay long,
I'm missing you now"

"It's like I told you, I'm over
you somehow."

His Jake. He remembers him clearly without any trouble. He remembers that day. What day? Their day. The day that they realized their love for each other. The day of their first kiss.
Johnnie remembers it all as if it happened yesterday. The soft rays of the setting sun that shone just enough around Jake's shoulder to reach his eyes and illuminate the fair skin that entombed the roots of his facial features. The abnormally gentle grass that they sat on beneath the enchanting dark shades of the leaves of a certain willow tree that added a level of comfort to the atmosphere.
He remembers the glimmer that he seen in Jake's eyes before they kissed.
His eyes.
Oh god, his eyes. They were the puddles of mud on a stormy day. The puddles that lured you out into the foggy rainstorm. Puddles that you had lost yourself jumping in. That you had gotten lost in. Lost. Like whenever you go out into the woods on a foggy day. The earth slowly fading away as you ventured deeper into it. He always got lost in Jake's eyes. And oh god, did they have an effect on him. Out of everything that he admired about Jake, his eyes were his favorite. He could stare at them forever.
