I allowed myself the guilty pleasure of remembering you today. You're a sight for sore eyes, I must say. The coincidental run-in at the bus stop made a small part of my heart flutter.

Your arm brushed against mine and the heat tingled my senses. I took a shallow breath instead of the deep one I intended to. Staring out the window, I willed myself to not give in. It was too late for you to come prancing back into my life. I felt your fingers lacing mine and I couldn't help but jolt up in my seat. I closed my eyes merely for a second, soaking in the touch of your rugged hands. And I pulled away. You're nothing more than a guilty pleasure I must forbid myself from having.
