a little epiphany
143w.
it happens when you catch him looking from the corner of his eye, shy.
it happens again when you walk in and stop short, breathless.
then again when she pulls you close and smiles against your ear. happy birthday!
it happens when you sit back after arguing your point, and he says, "that's what i was trying to say."
you are caught a little off-guard.
you blink to stall for time.
it happens when you figure out why he always makes you angry, the way he smiles at those girls.
it happens when she asks you if you knew.
it happens when fingers lace through yours, palm warm against palm.
you blink.
you breathe.
oh.
(you walk outside and the raindrops drip into your hair, and you are surprised.
he kisses you in the middle of your oh.
it turns into a sigh.)
