i ask her if she's okay.
she nods. 'you heard the...fight?'
now i nod.
'just something with
my brother', she explains.
i wish i could explain her eyes, and how
the sound of her voice
gives me butterflies. how
her smile makes my heart
skip a beat and how every
time i'm with her, i
feel so complete.
'i've never had a real best friend before',
she whispers. 'and you're just...
always there.
like netflix.'
we laugh and i look at her.
her eyes, so desperate
to get the sunlight she needs.
i bite my lip and mumble
'i can be one for you.'
she doesn't need sunlight.
she is the sun.
because the next thing she does
is smile so bright.
and it is the most
be a u tif ul
thing
i have ever seen.
