jane she went out on a walk
some path to nowhere
surrounded by cherry blossoms
and grass clippings
the petals fell out of the trees
like snow
the only snow she would
ever see
especially in april
at least she didn't have to
feel
the cold-hearted weather
of the east coast

not here

the breeze blew
more petals fell
she felt
more alone
walking down that road
and feeling more lost
than ever

j "one more time," she promised herself as she walked through the door. "one more time and i swear i will gather up the courage to tell him how i really feel."

she got to the door and knocked, he opened it, and she saw his face. she looked straight into his eyes. they were brown. "no one ever talks about brown eyes," she thought. "they always talk about green eyes and blue eyes, eyes as deep as the ocean. they never talk about the brown eyes that suck you in like shadows."

she realized that she had been standing there for quite awhile, staring at his extraordinary common eyes.

"what's up?" he asked.

and at that moment, she lost herself, and everything that she had ever wanted to say.
