Thing were going well,
until,
he had the most
random melt downHe knew it was coming
but he didn't know it would come
nowLunch time,
he's on the rooftop
legs close to his chest
head down
hands into fistsdrip
drip
drip
drip
dripHe feels
someone shift
right next to himThis person does not move
He does not look up,
until his tears dryHe feels comfort
He feels reassured
by this personsimply because they're present
He lifts his head
and looks at his sideShe simply smiles
He stares at her,
disbelief present in his eyes"I thought you needed company,"
she says, with that gentle voice of hersHer soft, comforting green eyes
oppose his sad hazel onesHe felt obliged to
reply to herBut she dismissed him,
"Speak when you're ready.
I'll just be here, okay?"
she smiles once moreHe nods, proceeding
to put his head back downHe feels her warmth
He feels at ease
For the first time in a while,
He feels okay
