She/He

She..


I saw you standing in the hallway. You instantly caught my eye. The clock ticked. You rushed and passed me by. I smiled. You never looked. You never saw me. You did not notice my faint smile. I felt a slight pinch in my chest. The bell rang. I have to go to my class. I ran into my room. I sat on my chair. I looked at my classmates. They all look plain to me. The rain started to fall. I buried my face in my arms. Tonight will be a cold night.








He..


First day of school, I accidentally glanced at you. Your smile reminded me of morning sunshine. I walked towards you and secretly looked at you while you looked away. I felt my heart beating so fast as I approached you. I wanted to ask for your name but I did not have the courage. I got pass through you. Your face looked much more beautiful up close. The bell rang. I looked back and saw you walking away. I went home. I lied on my bed. the rain is still pouring hard. Tonight will be a cold night.

Shadows


Shadows are always a mystery to me. They fall on any surface. They caress these surfaces with all tenderness. It doesn't matter whether the surface is smooth or rough. The shadow still kisses the earth. But my shadow will always leave that part of the earth it once kissed. I'm sorry that I have to cut your romance. If I go back to that same exact place, would they still recognize each other? Would the earth welcome this long lost romance back into his arms? Would you still come back to me after seeing places? meeting people? Would you still come back to me? Would you still remember my name? Would you still want me? Would you still be you?
