Flying

I remember how I used to admire you,
In those split seconds when you weren't looking,
And looking in wonder out of the window,
And laughing freely.

How the sunlight used to fall on your hair,
Making it seem far more complex than it actually was,
As if it were a myriad of colous,
And as if each strand was made of gold.

How, when you laughed,
Your eyes crinkled at the corners,
And you shut your eyes and threw your head back,
The golden light slipping down your neck and into your collar.

Your ocean blue eys,
Not pale or cold like mine,
But deep and rich,
And how they changed colour sometimes, because of the weather.

It caused a feeling of soaring,
Like when on a swing,
The split second of flying upwards,
Except, I only kept on flying.
