It's the little things like your natural exquisiteness.
Like the day we took a walk.
The walk. We'd been casually talking for about two weeks.
This was the one where we officiated our friendship.
We were shoulder to shoulder, the wind blowing through your hair.
The trees were shedding leaves of every color.
A purple leaf landed in your hair and I was perplexed because had it been any other person, it would have looked disheveled and unkempt.
But you.
You didn't look messy. That purple leaf made you look so beautiful, like nature's queen. Somehow, it complimented you.
And you're staring because...?
I couldn't formulate a proper response, much less say something cool and witty.
Are you one of those friend-turned-stalker guys, because if that's the case...
I laughed carelessly and freely, something I hadn't done in a long time.
You simply smiled up at me and suddenly, I had a lifelong friend.
