the film ended
but my gaze lingered on the ocean
watching as the water flowed continually
a never ending abundance of compassion
watching as she -
looked right at me
and i felt myself panic
but she laughed and pulled me out of my seat
leading us outside into the mall.
"i see you're a daydreamer, Sora-chan," she remarked.
i gulped and followed her.
we reached the exit and started to head in the direction of the train station.
"so what do you dream about?" she enquired smiling as she strode beside me.
i felt my cheeks heat up wondering if she knew i'd been staring for so long.
"あの...things..."
she playfully pulled a strand of my hair
and i started to make sense of the feelings i was experiencing
every time she smiled
every time she laughed
said my name with the endearment in her voice
every time i saw her enter the train
and my heart leapt
with relief
that i had yet another train ride
another day
to spend with her.
my pulse quickened as it dawned on me for the first time

that maybe
maybe-
i pushed it away.
that's not me, i thought
she's just an amazing friend
who i'm glad to have met.
nothing more.
