Sipping the Tea

My heart won't stay silent around you.

I watched him go as the cars swept by
And the smoker's circle
Exchanged the Sunday morning news.
There was a squid necklace clutched in my hand (gasping for air
as my heart gasped for courage.)

I shouted at him.
He shouted back.

The day was mine.

I was the envy of the parking lot.

This time, I think I'll kiss him.
And if he returns the kiss,

I will be the envy of the world.

    Outstanding wisp. I particularly liked the openning three lines. That "smoker's circle" phrase is perfect.

    He told me about this a few weeks back. He hates that you two live so far apart. It may be worth trying the long-distance thing, Haleigh. He's not the flirty type of guy who you would have to worry about not being faithful when you're not in town.
    If you think it's too tough though, don't abandon hope. Maybe once you graduate you can move down here.
    WARNING: Don't ever base your life's decisions around someone else though. It can be dangerous and hurtful for both of you.

    I have sorely missed your writing wispy.
