it had taken over again,
my eyes stung,
but they would go numb over time.
my concentration was waning
and all i wanted to do was go home.
the bus stop was empty,
my eyes were closed
as i leaned my head against the window.
i still couldn't do it,
a voice popped up,
"...urm..."
i ignored it, like i did the others.
gosh, my eyes were numb;
i rubbed them and looked up,
it was him.
"hi." he voice was calming.
he took a seat next to me
in the bus shelter.
"i'm sorry about the other day."
i grunted.
"i wasn-,"
"i don't really care." i say
and it stuns him to silence.
"sorry, i'm bothering you."
"not really, you're just making excuses that don't need to be made."
"...oh,"
"what's your name?" i asked
with a small sealed smile.
"jacob,"
