What a sappy sketch...

A phrase escaped from the absentminded wanderings of my mind, and his face blossomed like a daisy in spring. The expression crept from his lips and white teeth to his nose and eyes, crinkling them in utter joy. The greenish gray eyes that were framed by perfectly curled lashes sparkled with utter amusement, and his features conveyed a simple amusement that touched me to my core. What a surprising reaction! A simple statement, a simple response, yet I feel as if my world has shifted slightly and my heart has beat just a little faster. Broad shoulders curve forward a little bit as he completes the image of a blissful and carefree child, laughing and enjoying the moment.


I stared at his figure, as it seemed to glow from the light coming in from the large windows. He had a slightly awkward stance, as if he was self-conscious of how much space his strong body was taking. He held his left arm with his right hand, as if trying to shrink down a bit so that he would be less conspicuous. His light brown hair was cropped in a rather stylish cut, tousled slightly to make him look natural and relaxed.

He noticed me looking at him rather curiously, and the smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a worried glance. “Is there something on my face?” He queried softly, speaking with the gentleness of a summer breeze. His voice touched my ears like an angel’s breath, and caressed my soul with the softness of a downy blanket.

I blushed, unaware of the blatancy of my actions until he pointed it out. I shook my head and looked down, but quickly lifted my head back up to watch his expression. I wouldn’t dare miss a single blink of his beautiful eyes, a single twitch of his eyebrows, a single breath that came from his lips.

He looked confused for a moment, but gave me a shy smile, as if to say that he didn’t mind my actions. Really, I understood that he didn’t really understand my true motives; he was just a blissfully oblivious child living in his own little world.

How quickly he became the sunshine of my day, how quickly he took a spot in my melting heart…
