landon
my body moved faster than my mind.
one minute i was standing on the tower
watching your shadow and then the
next, my feet were moving underneath
me, kicking sand in the air as i ran
after you.
"brooklyn," i yelled while gasping
for air to catch my breath.
you froze in place then slowly turned.
i caught up to you and placed my
hands on my knees, slouching over
as i caught my breath. i noticed a small
smile on your lips while you quietly
laughed, which made me believe that
maybe things could be okay.
"you can't just walk away like that,"
i stood up straight.
"landon-" you pressed and i shook my
head, "no, you already talked, it's my turn."
"you said you've moved on from
the past but you haven't, because if
you didn't you wouldn't have came to
the tower, you wouldn't have given me
one glance, and you wouldn't be doing
the same exact thing i did to you."
you shot me daggers and if looks could
kill, i'm sure you would have been rolling
my dead body out to sea right about now.
you then closed your eyes and tilted your head
back to look up towards the star filled sky.
a heavy sigh echoed in the back of your throat
while you let your head fall back down, watching
your feet wiggle underneath the sand.
your brows were knitted together in
thought and i could tell you were in war
with your mind by the way your lips
were moving furiously.
you nodded your head then looked
up at me, "tomorrow at seven,
building five on broadway and
fifth, the third floor, be there."
