he lays beside me and brushes my hair away from my face and behind my ear. he whispers what seems like sweet nothings into my ear, and i feel completely encompassed by it. he scoots closer, his dainty but long figure engulfing my once breakable facade. i feel the worries of the day washing away, as if his presence is enough to break the reminders of you that swallow me whole at the same time. flashes of the person you once were, i lay still and tense. he looks me in the face, sincerity filling his dark green eyes. i am a harbor of safety for him. the weight of my compassion pulls him in. i wonder if the speckles of hope for us would shine the same in his beautiful eyes if he knew exactly who was on my mind.
