In the dark creases of the whipped clouds I saw the color of Shawn's eyes,
the color of coconut shells that radiated the warmth of a tropical beach.

I had the power to put someone back together with a hug, save them by offering a kind compliment.
And as I climbed the tree and sat on my windowsill to admire the sunset, I couldn't help thinking that that was pretty special, and that maybe, just maybe, I could be something pretty special too.
