Brief Overview: These are the thoughts of a boy who's in love with a girl.

"Through His Eyes"

Valentine's Day-

Usually this day seems to bore. Just enough to treat it as any ole' day, but something had been different… very different to the point where my heart is jumping out of my chest. When I see her, I'm not sure anymore.

It's like, as stupid as it seems, I feel better around her. Everything about her is so heavenly. I'd usually look over to her to remind myself of everything I loved and all the things I still love about her. The simplest thing about her could make me admire her even more. How her dark, mysterious eyes complimented her dark chocolate hair. I had seen her before, knew her during our middle school years, but sadly she didn't know me.

I had seen her walk home as well, I'm not a stalker, but she took the same routes I had. Alone she seemed so lonely, so innocent, and so quiet. With her friends she was loud, but not too loud. I haven't talked to her though. Just bringing out my hard shell; not talking though I want to… my heart wants to. I know she's single, I'd overheard her talk with her friends about it and it sounded really bad. But, on this day, I should be able to change that.

Today had been different from the rest. She'd walked into the classroom and upon her desk had been a single vermilion rose. When I had saw her face she was in utter shock, but she looked absolutely adorable. I had looked away for a couple of minutes, but just had to look over again. She looked at it if as if it weren't real, but by the way she'd touched the soft velvet of the petals, she knew they were as real as they could get.

Inside I was just so to see her beautiful smile. That smile that just reminded me about everything that was beautiful in the world. I knew she had no idea, or anyone else for that matter, which had placed it on her desk. Class when on as it normally did and I didn't see her until periods later.

Again, she had another rose on her desk. I could hear her 'aww' and giggles, which I could tell from anyone else because of how cute they were. There'd been a note there this time; I thought that she should finally know the person who'd given her those roses.

'Look over to the desk on the left.'

She'd looked to the right and was two empty desks and a wall, soon later she noticed that that was her right. She'd laughed as inside I had too, but not out of stupidity, but out of curiosity and the feel to want to know the rose barrer. She looked to the other direction and there I was, smiling. She smiled back at me; my heart racing faster then it's ever had and everyone within a desk radius could hear it.

I'm glad she was smiling because I didn't think that she liked me because of that stupid trip I had put on about me being some tough little bitch. The distance that had torn us apart because to crumble and bring us together, literally, since the teacher moved my seat next to her because of some stupid person who kept talking (Thank you!).

When I had sat next to her, she seemed a little nervous. I didn't blame her for it; I really thought she was able to hear my heart pounding. Within a couple minutes after the teacher made my dreams come true, there was a note on my desk.

"Hi."

My smile didn't fade one bit, it actually grew. Soon we began to chat and understood a lot of thing about each other. There were some things that were written that I couldn't make out, but no one's hand writing is perfect. So, after school I had met up with her (it was about five o' clock) and we took a stroll around the beach. Once the sun began to set, we started watching it. We'd been on the pier, my hands around her waist as the sun went down. Before the skies turned dark, we shared a passionate kiss that would last a lifetime.
