I remember the first time
The first time a guy I liked asked me out
I felt so triumphant
I was walking around town
Side by side with my mom
When I saw him
Seated in his .....( cloth shop )
Which was filled to the brim
He was brown too brown actually glowing
That's what attracted me to him
His curly dark hair thick
His perfectly symmetrical face was busy working out something on his desk
Even seated I could tell he was a tall man
I stared but he was too busy to see me
And in the last moment
As I passed
I was almost gone
In the last glimpse he lifted his chin
His face from the book before him
And our eyes met
Brown, like melting caramel
My heart stopped
His gaze washed over me
And I couldn't stop my lips from smiling
And that moment
I knew
I was beyond help.
