When I first laid eyes on him I felt my heart pound in my chest
I took a sharp intake of breath
He was devastatingly good looking
Kind of a loner
Rumors around school that the reason he doesn’t show up is because he’s a stoner
He sits quietly strumming guitar
I know he’s faking
He can’t read music
Worth a ****
He’s a faker
I volunteer to be in his group just so I can sit next to him
He hardly talks
Furthermore he does not show up
I think about failing him on the group project
Nope, too nice for that
He seems to live in his own world
Does the perpetual half smile indicate that his world is a happy one
Or one of self depracating mockery?
Black eyed, coffee colored hair
The color of a Belgian donut
Legacy of his ancestry
He writes me a note!
The joy of sudden communication
To unlock his world
He spells everything wrong
Says he’s got dyslexia
I feel bad.
Even if he’s dyslexic, whatever form of communication we have reaches deep and touches the inside
We keep it up, months later he signs, “Forever your secret.”
Puzzled about the meaning of this I ponder it while he says, “Shh…”
I fall in love with minds
I want to open the doors to his secrets
In the meantime I am content to remain forever his. How long do I have to wait? He disappears like quicksilver promising to return. Can quicksilver become gold?
