"Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt thou the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt
I love you."
- William Shakespeare

e i g h t

when she pulled over
oliver was almost asleep, he rubbed
his eyes. she looked at him
with a sad smile.

"whats wrong?" his voice was groggy.

"i don't really know where i'm going.
i'm just trying to save you Ollie."

she looked at him and for a moment
he couldn't breath. she looked like she was going to kiss him.

she didn't though, and he knew that.

but the thought of her actually kissing him
replayed in his mind, again,
and again.

she wiped her thumb underneath his
eye, "eyelash" she whispered, "make a wish."

and he did, he wished she knew where she was going
and that when they arrived at
their destination she would pull
him out of the car,
grab his hand,
and runaway with him.
