as they lay on the lawn on that summer night.·´ ¯ `·._.· ´ ¯ `·»
he held her hand. she asked if she could ask a question. "sure," he answered, scared of what it was.
"would you ever leave me..." the weight of the question seemed to evaporate off of her chest.
he turned his head towards her. he loved the way her hair fell onto the ground. she rotated her head so that they were staring at each other; their eyes parallel.
"what kind of question is that." he answered. devastated.
how could she, this girl he has loved from the first time he heard her voice, ever think that he would leave her.
"I-uh-I," she searched her mind for a way to explain. she couldn't believe she just asked that. to the boy she has loved from the first time she saw him smile. "I have no idea."- thats all she could manage.
he loved the smell of her breath. like, the first breath of spring. indescribable.
"I could never leave you," he started, "when i'm with you, not even all of these stars could count at how happy I am. happy is an understatement- and that was really gay. but I cannot begin to tell you how much I love you."
he gazed into her eyes, god. those beautiful blue eyes. like the ocean. better. the moment was right. he leaned, like he had so many times before. only this time it was different. for some reason as their lips connected. he didn't feel the same spark that was usually there.
"I'm so so so sorry."she leaned up on one elbow and stood. the tears streaming out of her blue eyes reminded him of the countless times he held her in the ocean. he reached up to wipe them away, like the countless times he had before. but this time it was different. she un-latched the heart necklace he gave her at the beginning of the summer and let it fall to the ground.

but this time it was different<\3
