To the one with the emerald eyes,

The ones that send a warmth

That tingles on my skin like a sunny spring day.

The ones who lead to a soul of a hero, my hero,

That doesn’t hesitate to protect those around him.

To you I say thank you, and hope you will let me see the

Kindness in your eyes again,

If you will still have me as a friend.

It wasn’t perfect, but I figure it does the job. But now what? Do I give him the poem? And is it enough? There is so much more that I want to say. How he has a spell on me and how much I have thought about him. But I don’t want to push. The kiss was weird enough. But then again, he did write that he wanted me to think of him. Which I do. But this could push him away if he truly isn’t ready.

No. I have to give the poem to him. I have to take that chance. He kissed me back. I felt it. Even if he doesn’t want me the way that I want him, there has to be something there for him to just kiss back.

I go back inside and find an envelope. I tear the paper gently out of the notebook, taking special care to avoid any rips. I want it to look as nice as possible. I then fold it neatly, slip it into the envelope, and seal it. I get a pen from one of the drawers and write what I hope will be the perfect thing: To Dominic, Whom I haven’t stopped thinking about.

I will give it to him. He needs to know that he has a friend. And if that’s the only way he can be in my life, then it’s all I need. But I can’t do it now. I need to work up the nerve.

I tuck it away underneath a bunch of junk, hoping that no one would look for it. Joseph and Kenny are still asleep, so I don’t feel too scared about them finding it. Besides, there’s nothing of value in the drawer, so I know Kenny won’t go snooping in it.

Now the waiting starts. It’s going to be torture.
