~ "What are your big plans?".
= "I guess we'll see. You.. look pretty".
She looked at the ground for a moment, then just simply thanked me.
= "Come on".
When she saw the rooftop, was she amazingly happy that I couldn't be more proud of myself.
It was hell of a night, Eve, you don't even know how much I idolize it with all my heart.
I appreciate when you randomly took a blanket, hugged it and swayed out of the blue, as your hair softly and easily flew wild with the wind.
What about your smile? It was calm and soft, I never thought you'd hold that load of appreciation for me, as I thought you never did.
= "Why don't we play cards?".
Indeed she was absolutely smart to play with me, stupid me, stupid me in love with the beautiful Arabian.
= "Why don't we watch a movie?".
She chose Finding Nemo, and she kept laughing like a 3-year-old child; quiet and quite fragile. She didn't cry a bit-although I did!
= "What do you wanna try first?".
She chose the cookies, it was my sister's actually, and she said they were delicious with a very soft smile. Ugh Eve, I was melting. I was melting in front of you, and despite the fact that I don't know what did you feel, I thought you knew it.
Oh, Eve, you were so pretty that night, laughing like a baby.. playing like a cat.
Oh, Eve, you were so sweet that night, just sweet like everything we ate together, so sweet like the memories I kept sharing with you.
~ "You really like talking about your sister".
= "Yes! She is an amazing one, God bless her. She looks exactly like me".
~ "I actually want to see a picture of her".
= "Why don't I take a picture of you, instead? Here we go, you are amazing as usual".
~ "Thank you, Ed".
= "Hey, why don't you talk about anything?".
~ "I don't have much on my mind, actually. Instead, I am satisfied listening to you, if this means that I want to listen".
She said as she looked carefully and curiously at my face.
Oh, Eve, what a sentence, and how did you came to existence!
Actually I tried to indulge her in a conversation the whole time, as I looked at her tenderly.
= "Do you have any siblings?".
~ "Nope".
= "How about your close friends?".
~ "I was bullied, they said I had a strange attitude".
= "Oh.. sorry".
~ "It's okay. I never really cared".
= "How didn't you?".
~ "I never thought of socializing anyway, Ed".
She stopped, and then suddenly she said it without hesitation.
~ "You are the only person I really feel like talking to, Ed, you are..".
= "I love you".
She stared at me as I stared at her.
~ "How is that?" .
= "It is like I want to spend my entire time with you, I love everything about you, I remember you everytime I am alone, I think of you everytime I go to sleep..".
She was so staying still and silent.
= "And most important, you inspire me".
~ "I..do that", she muttered.
= "Wha..what?! You do?? Really?!". I was shocked.
~ "Yes".
Oh,Eve! Rainbows were shown in front of me, and fireworks played inside my head.
I knew you loved me.. you did, Eve!
It was dawn by then.
= "Why don't we just lay down, listen to some music and watch the sunrise?".
~ "That's perfect, indeed".
We chose Wings, and Birdy started to sing.
Sunlight comes creeping in,
Illuminates our skin,
We watch the day go by..
Storied of whst we did..
It made me think of you,
It made me think of you.
Birdy said, and the sun rays literally started to creep on our rooftop.
Oh, lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just wanna be by your side,
If this wings could fly..
For the rest of our lives.
She leaned towards me, I could smell you, crimson candy.
Under a trillion stars
We danced on top of cars
Took pictures of the stage
So far from where we are
They made me think of you
They made me think of you.
God knows you were that stage, pretty soul.
Oh, damn these walls
In the moment, we're ten feet tall
And how told me after it all
We'd remember tonight..
For the rest of our lives!
~ "I'll remember tonight".
She said.. and my heart kept beating fast.
Oh, I loved you Eve. I love you.
Just so you know, I still remember when you fell asleep in my arms after that verse.
*****************************
I was exhausted after I got her back home, so I slept for long hours behold her pictures I printed, only to be woken up by Christa's knocking, again.
- "Where have you been, Ed??? I kept texting you all night, you never responded".
She looked anxious, little she knew.
= "Uhm, I was at a friend's, sorry I bothered you".
- "Yeah you did, I came all way long just to check up on you".
="Aw, c'mere sweetie. There you go. I am really sorry. I am gonna make you something to drink and we are gonna talk".
After hugging my sister, I went so overwhelmed of happiness to thr kitchen to make her something, only to find her standing at the entrance holding the picture of Eve smiling and dancing.
= "Christa,..".
- "Indeed yes, we should talk".
