Or whether doth my mind, being crowned with you,
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters and things indigest
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best,
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O! 'tis the first, 'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up:
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup:
If it be poisoned, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.

same day

the sky is now pitch black, leaving the stars and moon as our only light source as we walk on the beach. we don't talk much, letting the waves crash loudly. finding a nice dry sandy spot, we lay down and look at the stars.

"i'm sorry you have to be treated like shit at home. you truly don't deserve this" wil says quietly as he turns on the sand facing me. still looking at the stars i reply 

"its ok, its just life isn't quite what i thought it'd be" i said, then turned to face him. he pierced his lips and sighed, resting his face and unclenching his jaw. he lightly placed his hand over mine on the sand and traced it with his index finger before placing them into mine. he looked so sad 

we lay there listening to the waves crash against the sand for minutes at least, before wilbur  turns onto his back and starts humming a tune. it was pleasant. soft. you could tell he was a good singer just by listening to it. i wanted to ask if he liked to sing, but i decided not to ruin the moment. instead, i inch my way to him and lay my head on his chest, closing my eyes. listening to his heartbeat and his voice ringing through his chest. 

what feels like hours pass by. wil changes tunes after what i assume is each song. my hand lies on his chest, and his arm is around my shoulder again. i close my eyes, and breathe. in this moment, i am free. the weight is lifted off my shoulders. all i have to think about is now. this moment. now, everything else seems far less significant. 

i let myself drift in and out of sleep. i didn't care what time it was anymore. I didn't care that it was dark. every now and then i felt my phone buzz in my back pocket, but i honestly could care less. i was with wil. i was happy. even if nothing serious happens between us, at least i got the chance to share this moment with him

even though we've only "known" each other for 2 days, it feels like we've known each other forever. we've only spent around 10-12 hours together, but then again, it feels like years. i feel at peace when i'm with wil.
