"did i hurt you?"

my heart is beating

louder

than a drum,

i can feel it in my ears.

your skin is against mine.

i can feel your warmth.

i do not know how to respond

to you.

i hold my breath

not wanting to be

intoxicated by your smell.

your emerald green eyes

once again

bore into my lifeless gray eyes.

they, your eyes,

were brimming with curiosity

once again.

you take my stare

as an answer, and you laugh.

"you're a quiet one, aren't you, now?"

you put your hands behind your head,

as you rest on my lap.

i could not look into your eyes

any longer,

it is like looking into a galaxy

hidden within yourself.

i close my lips in a tight line,

feeling uneasy

as i turn my attention

to the pretty blue butterfly

which flew beside me.
