Seemingly
To the beat of my heart,
his engine sputtered down my road,
Nearing



closer

and



closer
with each second
that raced by.








Ready for this?
I was not.

His eyes caught mine as he
pulled into the driveway.







And I froze.

My words





Gone
My emotions





Hurricaned
My plan






Disappeared
My logic






Drowning




In the sea of blue





that was his eyes.

For a moment I thought I'd










Run.
Run to the closest neighbor.
Run to the next state.










Run.
Maybe just to his arms.

But I didn't budge,
couldn't budge,
I only stared.








Stared.
Into those eyes that held
love for me.







Stared.
Into those eyes that held
memories of a time




far,





far






away.

Words were spoken.
But everything was a
distant





blur.

My memory tells me nothing of
His words



or


Mine.









Nothing of
the words whispered between us in the




Darkness.






Just his eyes






and how my heart
Ached


as he drove away.

From myself,
The dreams,
The memories,







Us.
