Tyler's POV

After the kiss
I leaned back
And sipped
My chai
As he looked
Down upon
The tabletop
In his own world
Of thoughts
Dreaming

Bitting his lip
He looked at me
As if he knew
My jeans
Slowly but surly
Were getting
Tighter and tighter
As the minutes passed
I wonder if his
Were too

Tear stained cheeks
Remnants of the slits
On his hips
And the blood
On his sleeves
I wonder
If they
Still stung
Fresh
In his mind
Or if they were
Just memories

My hands
Stretched out
Holding his
Cold ones
In mine
As if I warmed
Like mittens
In the snow
Or the sun
In the summer
Months

Foggy eyes
Met mine
For a second
I saw fear
And was
Surprised
To why
He was
Scared of
Me or
Just the silence
Between us

I wonder
What
His voice
Sounded like
Does he
Even remember
Anymore
Or
Is it just
Forgotten

I knew
Deep down
That I needed
To speak
First
Or he
Would never
Tell

My voice sounded
Horse but
Gentle in tone

"Babe, why?"

When his
Eyes closed
I realized
In the
Moment
That this
Is going
To
Be harder
Than I
Ever
Thought

A/N Hello lovelies! How's life? I hope good. Otherwise, know that things, in the end, will get better. I'm so excited. I'm printing a whole bunch of Polaroids this week. Yes!!! I'm off to go type up my science fair results. What are your plans?
