letter V

she sees him. she sees those eyes tracing the words in front of him. she can't help but look at him while he is consumed and not aware of her stare. nothing has ever been as capturing - as visually stunning - as that of the form beside her. she can only look, only wish, only daydream...

a smile, nervous in form. i fear i have just given myself away. you reciprocate that smile unexpectedly. jolted further, i act as if i am looking at someone else. how could i ever, though? your essence is that like the moon - with me gazing at the sheer majesty of it all. i fear that i am cracking. scared that my eyes will reveal the true feeling that lies beneath. i hold my breath. i'm containing this moment in time. i'm containing you.

with an unexpected determination without fear or insecurity, she stares back, unfaltering.
