gray haze

white flowers and gray haze

my heart races in silence,

you look away

every time you find me looking,

as though,

i could hear you heartbeat,

and you felt unsure if i felt the same.

my hands find its way to yours

like you're my destination on a map,

you keep your hands firm in place,

the silence filled in a gentle wrap.

we wandered around mindlessly,

like the clocks stopped ticking,

when we looked into each other's eyes

the blue sky smiled down at us,

a witness to our nervous disguise.
