Midway through the playlist I look into your eyes, those wide enchanting eyes. There was an awkward silence. I reach over and felt your hand. You leaned over, your head on my chest. I broke the silence, telling you how beautiful you are, and that your smile reminds me of the angels that I’ve long forgotten.
We would then stare at the stars, you and me, wishing that the moment would last forever.
