Through Viridian Seas

056 ; past shoulders

i was blushing

but so was she.

the excitement in the pit of my stomach was boiling up to my throat

almost as though i might cry out in happiness

but i didn't.

we held our hands together for an eternity

just savouring the moment

beneath the moon and stars

creating a galaxy of our own

as the blues and greens mixed together

the ocean washing over me with quiet energy.

this is happening.

it's happening.

i had my suspicions

but now i know

that i like a girl

i can like a girl.

i like Midori.

the realisation

so strong

so sudden

knocked the breath out of my lungs.

but then my first thought was:

what will Otousan think?

then,

what will other people think?

but when i looked back at Midori

with her long hair falling over her shoulders

blowing gently in the breeze

and the contented expression on her face

i pushed the thoughts out of my mind.

i needed this moment to last

as long as it could.

Midori.

i'm so glad i met you.
