the sun said—it hurts to become
My lips fell slightly apart as I studied her, even more so when she took soft, precise steps closer to me. She slid through the shadows, through the lights, and a thought struck me: did she know the sheen of her own coat when it the sun kissed her sides? Did she know how her milky eyes looked when they sought nothing and everything at the same time?
Stop thinking this way, I told myself dismissively, half-heartedly.
But then, “I enjoy the wind.” Oh, she breathed her lyrics in the most enamoring of tones. Every thought I dismissed broke their floodgates, and swallowed me whole (it seemed I had forgotten to dismiss them a second time—or I didn't want to). Her skin, her hair, her eyes, her lips, her, her, her. My thoughts strangulated my smoky breath, and sent me fumbling for a response. Oh, but every tender whisper my mind conjured was quickly drowned by the swells of my heart. This simply made its rhythm all the more tumultuous.
The space between us felt like an eternity to cross, to close, until my flightless raven was upon me, and when she was, all I could think was closer.
ummm I was listening to close by nick jonas when I wrote this and now auri might have a crush on ravel sorrynotsorry

She is far away. She...she is far, far away from me.
