The air smelled of flowers, and my feet moved along the dry pavement.

My converse shoe bottoms no doubt becoming more scuffed up than they already were, but I couldn't bring myself to care.

I walked into the same class as always, at the same time, on the same day of the week.

But there he was.

Shrouded in black, he sat at the back of the classroom.

His hair, his eyes, his clothes; all colored ebony as he stared up at the profound white of the ceiling.

Oh, but his mind was anything but dark.

I was attracted to him immediately, and his seat happened to be right next to mine.

I looked over at him, he looks over at me.

His smile is ecstasy and he has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen.

"Why are you wearing all black?"

"Irony, my friend."

A unique response for a unique boy.

He was art, in that very moment.

I could've looked at him for hours.

I still could now.

Despite the galaxies I've studied, with massive planets and oblivion black holes;

Nothing has ever come close to the vastness of his soul.

Or the beauty of his very being.
