I see you

e i g h t

i feel something warm

against my skin

and

on my lips.

i hear a chuckle.

"thanks for watching out for me!

sorry if you had to stay out too late,

i should walk you home, in exchange,

then?"

i open my eyes to see

a pair of emerald green eyes

boring into me.

ah, i fell asleep.

i am,

again,

unable to say anything

to him.

i try to open my mouth

but no voice comes right out of it.

i suddenly feel shy.

he stands

and pulls me up,

and to my surprise

my face jerks to his chest

and i feel

his beating heart.

why does this seem

to always happen to me?
