shane. just one look at him, that's all. she noticed him right away. how could she not? the way his perfect brown hair fell over his cinnamon eyes; she was hooked instantly. he was the city boy, all older and confident and the opposite of everything she was.shane. by ~SecondaryOrange
and yet he chose her. out of all the girls in the room, he chose her. she was tall and angular, her gaunt figure was always slightly tense as if ready to flee at any given moment. she had always been wary of people from the city, which on this particular day was showing from the way her shoulders hunched and her aquamarine eyes darted around the room nervously. those people made her feel afraid

that we're able to scoop it up once it's within our reach
feel it and fold it and hold it
spread it all over our faces like it's watercolour paint
until its in us and we're in it
and we are full of those gorgeous colours
that you only find in sunsets and jungles and your words.
then
wash it off and watch the pretty sunset colours
as they swirl down the shower drain
until there was no trace that it was ever there
and we'd be better off.
but that's never how it works.
i can remember that one night in june as we
lay on a sleeping bag in my backyard
huddled together and staring up at the sky
