11. girl and the sunset

0 5. 3 1. 1 6.

she watches the sunsets like

a butterfly steps out the

cocoon for the first time,

and for a while

he wanted to be the

one being looked at

by her like that.

it was enticing, so captivating

watching her

watch the sunset,

how her eyes speckled

bright, with flecks

of green and gold

dancing around

her almond-shaped eyes.

it was funny, really

how he spent days

conjuring up the perfect

set of words

that would make her

turn away and

look at him

like he was one of the sunsets

out on the horizon

she spent hours looking at.

but he was invisible

just like the rest of the people

strolling in the park

and she is unaware

of his existence

so he refuses

to let her know

of it,

and just watches her

watch the sunset,

for it's all that he could do.
