[Adolescents - Incubus]

"I know I'm not alone -

just adolescents,

you and I."

Slow breaths and you stand still, eyes wandering to the sky above.

Monotonously,

in...

...and out.

Fingers intertwined, unwavering honey gaze.

He looked to you, not the stars.

And smiled.

Truly, you were more radiant than any silly old star, they'd still be there.

But, you wouldn't always be, Kida realized that.

Then he couldn't look at you, couldn't touch you, couldn't be near your warmth - that numbed his soul and kept his heart beating when frozen.

He doesn't think he could live a life without you.

He tips his head to rest on top of yours as a loving smile spreads across his lips, the same lips that turned to kiss the top of your head and later to your own mouth.

Young love,

the purest kind of love there is, they say.

At least he's not alone anymore,

for now, at least.
