The first hellos were the beginning of something so incredibly complex and beautiful.

The encounters continued for a while.

They had brief conversations, filling each other in on snippets of their lives and enjoying each other's company.

They did so love each other.

Of course, they were both broken.

But I promise you, love can fix anything.

I'm constantly forgetting what day it is.

How long have I been here, anyway? All the voices in my head give different answers and I don't know anything.

I like the boy.

Phil, I mean.

His eyes are blue, like an ocean, and I feel like you could drown in them.

As if on cue, he comes up to me.

"Hey Dan?"

His voice is soft and sweet despite sounding constantly tired and never at ease.

"Hmm?" I look up from twiddling my thumbs and he looks at me.

"Do you want to come and sit with me? We could talk, you know? If we are both stuck here- we may as well make some friends, right?"

(Phil)

I finish talking.

I like the boy.

Dan.

I invite him to come and talk with me.

I hope he says yes.

"Sure. Why not?"

I smile.
