Sanctuary [Poetry]

"Hey."

I stared at her. She stopped beside me just to offer a sweet smile. I frowned my forehead, I was wondering if I met her before since she looked so familiar.

"Uh," I cleared my throat. My heart just started drumming so loud due to some abnormal shyness. "Hi."

I sighed unnoticeably. Good thing I was able to use my voice a little bit. I felt like I hadn't speak for a millennium. The tone was laced with hesitation, the voice sounded like it was never in practice. My mind in haze, my heart—a chaos.

A chuckled escaped her lips. It was rather pleasant in my ears than an insult. "You keep on walking at that same spot. Are you okay?"

"Huh?" I stopped for a moment. I stared at my feet, my shoes was white but it looked dirty, like I haven't washed it for a year. When I averted my gaze to her, she was already walking away, her back facing me. "Oh."
