i like you. a lot. you listen to me, and you…
the silence between us is palpable, so heavy in the air that i feel like its crushing me.
and then she’s pushing my hair from my face and looking into my eyes with the most intense stare i feel like i’ve ever seen
and she’s gently unhooking my mask from my ears and i’m not registering any of it because all im aware of is her breathing and my breathing and the steady, inconceivably loud beating of my heart in my chest,
and the perfect shape of her cupid’s bow,
and irene her lips look so soft and i can’t stop staring at her eyes
(they’re the color of milky honey)
and i feel like i’m seeing her like i’ve never seen anyone before
and when she finally presses her lips to mine,
i release a breath i didn’t realize i was holding,
and i kiss her back.
