I locked
my eyes
back on
the floor
as we
continued to
walk.
Our steps
echoing in
the pavement,
a few cars
passing by.
I took a
peak at
you and
saw you
close your
eyes
for a moment
and exhaled,
a small smile
creeping its
way back
again
and it seemed
as if you
were back
to normal,
the heavy
air around you
suddenly felt
lighter.
"Well,"
you spoke.
"I have a question."
