Written 7th June
You weren't feeling it today, it was rainy,miserable,as were you.
You felt Weird.
Like you haven't eaten,but you weren't hungry....and you don't have a bug or anything...weird.
You decide coffee is the best answer.
Although you do prefer tea.

The rain has calmed down a bit as you make your way into 'Cup of Joel's' coffee shop. It's crowded but you see a small table in the corner by a window,perfect.
You go to sit down and a man,about 1.78m to be exact with curly brown hair,a Cornish pastry society t-shirt on,which you LOVE and sweatpants,barges into you,considering what he was wearing you assumed he lived nearby too and so was used to have to jump in queues and barge people out of the way for things.But youve never seen him before.

The rain stopped and the sun started to peak through the clouds.

He looks up at you,seeing the regret in his eyes you stop.still.time had frozen and you were just looking at him,into those deep bluey green pigments coming together like waves crashing,you were hoping,yearning, to swim in that ocean.
'oh,sorry...I didn't realise you were there' he says in his perfect British accent,you almost choking on the salt water that formed in your mouth.
He looks at you desperately waiting for a kind response.
'oh..no..it's fine,did you want to sit there?'
He smiles and laughs at the kind thought.
'yes, I did..but-'
'no,no, it's fine you take it'
you say quickly cutting him off,he was cute,he needed that seat.
He looks at you kindly,making direct eye contact and smirks,blushing a little bit.you edge in closer, you can't stop yourself, he's attracting you like waves to sand 
'no,um...looks like somebody nicked our spot'  He says chuckling.

You look over to see someone else in the space.you go red embarrassed.

'Im freddie' he says radiating kindness.

That's a hot name.
You smile.
'Im Y/N,nice to meet you'*
You both smile and look at the floor,you both stand there awkwardly for a moment but weirdly,you don't mind.
'maybe we should sit somewhere else to drink' he says looking around for a table.
Nothing.
You both look at each other,you see in his eyes he wants you to stay,the feeling is mutual.
You then feel moisture on your leg,fairly sticky and white,you look down at the floor and there's your cream.Freddie quickly grabs your cup,lifting it,stopping the spillage-Somebody decided to bump into you. He holds his hands there for a moment hypnotised by your touch,his hands feel every inch,the butterflies are awake,travelling through your stomach to your chest.
'uh,here you go' he says handing you a bunch of tissues,looking concerned while smiling with a burst of breath.
'We should go somewhere else,my coffee is cold now anyway' He smiles while his eyes linger at your lips,your eyes again,controling you like a joystick.
You blush and look forward, trying to hide it,he places the coffee cups onto the side and walks out behind you. Like a rock stuck in the current he follows you,attracted by your long flowing hair and your smell, he smiles in delight as you walk.
You stop.
Freddie obeys the moon and keeps flowing with the tide, bumping into you,as he does so his chest hits your back,his arms reaching forward,fingers tapping your waist,making you jolt slightly. He pulls back his chest and moves to the right of you and apologizes,
"Sorry...are you alright?"
You both laugh and look to the floor blushing red.
His arm hovering over your back,like a protective sheild.
'yeah,im fine' you smile
He meets your eyes,both locked in each others,you watch the colours mix and the memory's begin.
~~~~
The ocean blue,
the seaweed green,
The crashes of waves,
The coral in-between,
What you see in him is bigger than yourself,
What he sees in you is something else.
Your love
Like waves coming together,
You wish to swim in this sea forever.
~~~~

You both watch the cars fly past on the road, its relaxing almost. Its like in the rush and pace of the world,you two just stand there still. Together. He looks at you while you admire the road taking in,outlining, every aspect of the world,wondering why all these people rush around constantly,prisoners of their own mindset. He admires you in deep thought,intrigued by your look,he doesn't ask what your thinking about,its like he already knows,he looks back focused on the road hoping to catch your thoughts as they whirl around in the wind.

Its been quiet for ages,you just enjoy his company. You want to stand there forever.

*Ping*

He lifts out his phone from his pocket reads the notification and exhales deeply.
You don't want him to go,he doesn't want to leave,but he has to get back to work and he can't miss it.
'I'm so sorry,I have to go' he says while he bites his lip,scratching the top of his head,highlighting the bounciness of his hair.He is annoyed he has to get to work and can't spend the day with you,you don't even know anything about each other yet.
'Here, ill give you my number,I-"
"-Yeah,I have to go too...- you say smiling so you do not destroy the rapport you have already made.
He looks down sad,he never did catch your thoughts.His hands fall into his pockets and he lurches up onto his tiptoes and down again,
'well...thank you for today it was....umm.."
he swallows his lips, he is lost for words...you didn't even do anything today
'yeah..It was.' You say smiling internally,
'it was lovely to meet you Y/N" he says smiling while letting out a breath,hopefully decreasing the sadness of you leaving just enough so it's bearable.
"And you"
~~~~
It's still,
The Waves are no longer crashing
the wind is quiet,
Your pathways overlapping,
In that one dock,
On a quiet night,
You took his number,
With a loving future in site.
~~~~
You just want to kiss him,run into his arms,run away together,make him skip work to be with you.
But you only just met him.
You walk away smiling feeling the warm sun on your back, little do you know it's his eyes keeping track,tracing the sillouette so he won't forget.

He messages you straight after.
'Its Freddie,thank you for today,i had a lovely time.'
You laugh and message back
'I did too, see you around stranger'
This was the beginning of something great :)

~Fin~

Okay like idk where I keep getting these sudden urges of metaphors from but oh well we will just roll with it :) hope u enjoy them.
This was mainly showcasing the connotations between love and the ocean.it mainly started because his eyes look like the sea a mix of colors so I just went with it. And OH MY GOD  it's 00:55 rn...whooops..
Okay and I've finished it's now 01:15 awesomeee....

* I Really wanted to write:
"I'm date Mike,nice to meet me."
