"I'm all lost in the forest

as fears try to put me to rest

until flashes from a firefly passes by

and I can't put into words what caught my eye"

"I don't know man. It's just beyond words, beyond amazing. It's like when we were kids, and we play Super Mario. Things get tougher and tougher as we reach level after level. There are times that I failed, and only have one life left. But before I die, I managed to find a one-up, and it save my whole life." I told my brother as I was getting dress for my date with Jasmine later in the afternoon.

"You know how corny you sound right now, right?" He told me as I button my shirt.

"But man, I hate it too when I get corny with all these figures of speech. But anyway, I can't figure out a speech yet, or something to say." I replied as I noticed a few sweats drip to my hands.

"You just got out of the bath right? The hell is the speech even for? You're going to ask her now, aren't you? You're one scared little sht right now. Don't over think it. Just tell her that your brother sent you."

"The hell are you talking about, man get out of here. You're late for work."

"I'm never late for my job, my co-workers are just early. Anyway, good luck homes. Respect!" My brother went out as we do our "Respect" gesture to one another. It's similar to everytime a basketball player scores a three, but we do it with two hands. And instead of doing it upwards, our gesture is a tree heading downwards. It's just a weird thing that my brother started doing and we just do it wherever we go.

As I prepare my things, I looked back at the surprise that I've been preparing for days. I have a set of colored papers, which are basically pink and violet. It's not pink, pink. It's not also violet, violet. But let's just call it like that, there's no time for shades right now.

We're going to watch a movie today, which I really wanted to watch and I'm excited for it, but that's not the special part of the day that I have planned. We always go to the arcade before the day is over. We play some basketball, random games, and fighting games like Tekken. But we always make sure that we stop by at a specific booth in the arcade, the photo booth. There are six shots in there, so it really fits. With these colored papers and the photo booth later on, I might finally hear the answer that I've been waiting for.
