June 25

We met at our regular time today.
The stars shined bright against the dark sky.
We lied on the grass in silence.
It was peaceful.

At one point, I turned to my left to see him.
The way he looked up at the stars with this gleam in his eye,
It was as if he wished he were up there.
It made me confused.

He turned to look at me when he felt my stare I guess.
He just smiled.
But it didn't reach his eyes.
It made me sad how those blue eyes were dull.

I turned to my side and grabbed his hand.
I played with his fingers occasionally glancing up at him.
A smile danced his lips.
He seemed relaxed.

He asked me what the time was and suddenly he tensed.
I asked him what was wrong and he said "don't worry about it."
He wouldn't look me in the eye when we said goodbye.
We just hugged and he left.
