there's this boy
isn't there always [?]
who has dark brown eyes
and dark brown hair
and tanned skin
as if he spent all his time in the sun
which is odd since
we live in a rather cold town
the reason i know him,
is because we both
take art classes
we are both
creative
artistic
quiet
and dorky
it's relieving
knowing that
i'm not the only one
but back to him:
he has a dazzling smile
and quirky habits
and did i mention
that he's insanely tall?
we used to be
dare i say,
the best of friends
and i won't deny
i had the tiniest crush
of all time
on him
we shared laughs
and smiles
but due to time
and growing up
he has gone
to a different
day
for art class
and after a long time,
we saw each other again
after a time
of hand holding
pats on the back
and conversations
all we can share
are the laughs and smiles
but that's okay
we can still
see the nervousness
in each other
when the other
is around
and we still
give
each other
a silent exchange
because
we're quiet people
who have
big smiles
to be shared with
each other
and loud laughs
to be let out
and quick
eye
contact
to acknowledge
the other's
existence
and though time
has made him taller
me taller
his voice deeper
my voice level
our conversation topics
more serious and more weighted
we still have
the smiles
reserved for each other
even though
his smile now
makes my heart
race
it's still the same
and
our silent conversations
still just as
meaningful
