"hi,
stella"

"..."

"i won't
tell anyone,
stella"

"stella,
please"

i turned
around
and
he actually
smiled.

my stilled
stomach,
felt
wild.

"i'm
sorry,
louis"

he shook
his head,
and wiped
my
tears.

he looked
away
--nervous--
stumbling
over his
messy
sentence.

"would
you like
out;
a date,
or something"

i know
what
that
was, now;
when
my stomach
went
wild.

aching
to be free
and
change
my world.

in the foyer,

pretty.

not expectant.

do you
want
to go?"

"where
can
we go?"

the shops,

didn't
need to
talk.

at our feet,
and
when i
spotted
our shoes

mine burgundy,
his covered
with pictures of
spider man.

the
small
connection,
that led
the butterflies
to try
again;

fly
so high
to become
a twinkling
star.

they
tried to go,
i'm just
not sure
yet,
how far.
