innocent indigo

Another night again with us Strolling back from night classes as we always do.
I enforce a hug on you as you cringe through it, but we laugh about it as we always do...

Yes, it's a typical night.

Our eyes meet for a moment. A glorious moment. Then I see your lips part forming a gentle smile... I know you are about to speak. What are you going to say to me? Is this the night you confess your secret feelings for me? I got butterflies just from those thoughts.

You stretch your hand towards me like you're about to tenderly brush the hair away from my face.
"Are these new glasses?" You ask me.
"Oh yeah, they are…  I just got them, how sweet of you to notice" I reply also with a smile so innocent, like I did not just imagine your lips on mine in a hot ecstasy.

But I'm wondering, how is it that you notice a flimsy pair of glasses but you don't notice I smile different when I look at you.

"See you at school tomorrow" I say, waving you off.

"Good night" you respond.
