today, you rode the bus first. and when i stepped inside, i was contemplating whether to sit beside you or not. in the end, my heart won.

your eyes were closed but as if sensing i was here, they suddenly opened and i swore it kind of lit up. was it just my imagination?

i blew out a single breath. my heart was thumping so loud i could barely hear the sound blasting off from your headphones. your music today was something unfamiliar to me. yet, the tone was soothing, calm, and so... you.

i bit my lip to stop myself from asking you what the title of the song was.

i want you more and more

i can't help but think of what we could be

you pulled out your phone and like yesterday, the two of us were caught up in that silly game again.

i didn't know you. you didn't know me, either. but the way we laughed and smiled around each other was something i couldn't trade for the world. your smile was just what i had imagined – even more beautiful, i thought.

and at that moment, our worlds collided.
