but the scent of apples made up for it.
i could smell it everywhere,
even in the sheets of her bed where my body rested.
i kept hearing strange noises.
this uncomfortable feeling came over me.
she came in and apologized.
i just smiled.
we sat for a while listening to each other breathe.
i asked her about her dreams.
it surprised me when she said she had none.
my mind filled with my own.
but i held myself back from sharing them.
her eyes met mine and she giggled.
i didnt know what she was laughing at.
figured it was at me.
id always been insecure.
she leaned over and kissed me.
my mind became so clear.
i never thought shed kiss me.
i smelt the apples in her hair.
it was beautiful.
