"do you ever think about the stars?" she asks. "we are all so small" he thinks and watches her with curious eyes and says carefully "maybe two inches really do not matter at all". such wise words from the short boy who is stealing her heart. they sit in the cold, in the seclusion of night. "can i hold your hand?" he asks and she looks at him, suddenly not so small, and slowly gives him her everything. "you are what i have been waiting for." as time passes his eyes darken and their sincerity disappears. he is in a helpless sort of pain "maybe it would be easier so much easier if we were just friends," he whispers. she complies and gives him her sweatshirt as her world crashes. it is cold outside after all. |
