we both sat on the merry-go-round
and Midori pushed off with her foot
so that we turned slowly
just gazing out at the park
watching as the world blurred before our eyes.
“want to talk about it?”
i turned at the sound of her voice
and shrugged.
it was freezing and when i looked up at the sky
rain clouds were forming above us
barely visible in the dark.
our only source of light was the streetlamps
and i could just make out Midori’s face as we looked at each other.
“you look cold,” she commented.
“i am,” i said.
this led her to pull off her rain jacket and drape it over my shoulders.
it was far too big for me
but it smelt like her
and i liked the warmth it held.
“thank you.”
she sped up the spinning of the ride
and i clung to the metal
to stop from falling.
then she slowed us down again
and we came to a stop
with our faces towards each other.
“Midori,” i said
still thinking about our previous kiss
“what are we?”
