how am i supposed to pretend like i don't ever want to see you again?
i remember that time, we were at the arcade, the first and only time we ever hung out. the day was drawing to a close so we were just wasting our money on claw machines.
i was watching you as you played, and lost. you were annoyed you didn't win, but you checked the flap at the bottom anyway, so i laughed.
and the way you looked back at me, your brown eyes lit up and a faint smile on your face, that was when i felt the most for you. the rise before the fall.
