What day is it, and in what month this clock never seemed so alive.
We were sitting in my room talking. Not so much sitting as you lying on my bed while I sat on the floor looking for something to show you. I stopped looking when I heard the opening notes of the song begin though. I love this song. I look back at you, and your eyes are closed. I give a soft smile because God… you're just so, so beautiful.
I stand up from the floor and gently take one of your hands resting on your stomach in mine. Your eyes open as I pull you softly, trying to get you to stand, and you give me a smile as you question me with your eyes. I smile back but pull at you firmer to get you standing. I take your right hand in mine as my left goes to your hip, bringing you closer. Your other hand goes to my shoulder and by the middle of the first verse we are swaying softly to the music.
I see the expression change in your eyes as you listen to the words, as you begin to understand. You look so conflicted, and I know you're thinking about him, and I know the reason behind the confliction is because the thoughts you're having don't fit the song.
He doesn't.
I smile softly before taking your hands in mine as I push out, and spin you slowly under one of my arms. For a moment I hold you from behind before pushing you back out and turning you to face me. This time as I bring you in your arms go around my neck, both of them, and I wrap mine around your waist as I continue to sway us back and forth. You rest your forehead on mine and stare into my eyes. The conflict is gone, replaced instead with a sad happiness in those deep, chocolate brown eyes.
The eyes I get lost in.
The eyes I fell for, and haven't stopped.
The song is going to end soon, but neither of us wants this moment to end. It's perfect. We know the issues haven't gone away, but they don't seem to exist. In that moment, only we do. We know our emotions are real. Nothing can touch us. And nothing can tear us apart.
You lay your head against my neck as the end of the song arrives and I sing the last line of the chorus into your ear. I can feel your tears on my neck and hold you tighter. Slowly we stop swaying as the song comes to an end. You pull your head back and rest it on my forehead again. I can see the unshed tears and the soft smile on your lips. And that's when I know you feel it too. You start to lean forward, your grip on my neck tightening slightly as you urge me forward as well…
The bell rings and I jump up slightly. I open my eyes and blink slowly, unaware of the shuffling and movement around me. My mind still caught up in the dream. Finally my mind catches up to my body and I realize I'm the only one left in the room. I bend down to grab my bag, but stop when I see someone standing at the door of the class room out of the corner of my eye. I look over and see you standing there. Our eyes lock and for a moment we're back in my room, swaying to music I can still hear.
I want to open my mouth and say something, anything, but the warning bell rings. The moment is broken. And then you're gone. I sigh sadly before grabbing my bag and going to class.
"Cuz it's you and me, and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you."
