"LOVE IS BLIND"
By Doppelganger

“It’s like being poked in the fucking eye, you know?” I told her as I took a drag off of my cigarette. That felt pretty fucking good… I lay on my bed.

She didn’t reply and just gave me a look. You know that what-the-fuck? look…

Sometimes I wonder why I talk to her, I swear to god.

“Being dumped?”

She groaned then lay next to me.

I looked at her sideways, “That’s all you’re gonna say hmmrrmp?” I said to her. I flicked my cigarette. She raised an eyebrow.

“Do you know how bad it hurts when someone poke you in the eye?”

She remained quiet.

“Hurts like hell, dude.”

She sighed and shook her head.

“I swear to god…” I continued. “That’s probably why they say love is fucking blind, you know what I mean?”

She shrugged her shoulders.

I turned to my side to face her, “I mean, you’d meet someone,” I rest my head on my hand and brought the cigarette back to my lips, “You fall in love,” I exhaled and continued, “And then one day--boom!-- right in the fucking eye… I mean, with Lea,” I sighed, “I don’t know, I should‘ve seen it coming I guess… It was nothing serious or anything… But still…”

She opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, then decided not to. She sat up.

“I mean, is it me? Do I look bad? Shit,” I winced and decided to sit up too. “Do I smell bad?” I raised my arms and smelled my armpits.

She reached out and smacked me on the forehead.

“Ouch,” I exaggeratedly rubbed my head.

Finally, I saw a smile on her lips.

“Seriously though…” I looked at her.

She rested her elbows on the pillow sitting on her lap, and then placed her chin on her open palms. She just stared at me.

I bit my lip and put my cigarette out.

“Maybe I should just shut my eyes, you know?” I stared back at her. “I mean, not literally, but you know what the fuck I mean… Stop looking.”

She once again shrugged her shoulders.

“Fucking relationships…” I moved and rested my back on my headboard then grabbed my guitar.

“I should just stop looking…” I tilted my head and started to play. Then I stopped.

“You said something?” I leaned forward to hear her.

She rolled her eyes, looked up then said, “Tay,” she called me by my nickname, “You’re not supposed to look for love with your eyes anyways.”

“Huh?”

She slightly moved her head to brush the dark hair covering her left eye…

“You’re just--supposed to feel it.”

“Okay,” I raised an eyebrow.

“Besides,” her face closed in on me then gave me a kiss on the lips--not quite the same kiss she’d been giving me since we were little, “You’re already blind to begin with…”

“Wha--?”

“See ya in school tomorrow, Tay,” and she was gone.

I just realized… She had the most amazing blue eyes…
