He gazed at her….

He gazed out at her from his room, hoping in his mind that one day she would be his, to have and to hold. She walked to the river with him in her mind, praying in her heart that one day she could tell him what she felt inside. He went out to follow her; making sure he was not seen or heard. He hid behind a tree waiting to see what she would do…. She stepped into the river, slipping out of her clothes in the process. She began to wrap herself in water, and wash away the dirt from her skin. He was hypnotized to her body, like the moon on the ocean surface. Admiring her brown wavy hair, swaying softly on her mocha colored skin. He just stood there out in the open, for the world to see. He was being held captive by the girl's soft yet subtle look in the river. He began walking towards her unconsciously, and finally awoke from the trance; when he felt cold and surrounded by liquid. He looked down to find his pants were soaked in water, and she was but mere feet away from his open arms….. She had not noticed anything, except a few ripples in the water.
