Your eyes shone like glass beads. Nothing's reflected on the surface. I couldn't see myself in there.

I was thinking such thoughts, as I crackled a lollipop in my mouth.
How does one arrive at such pair of eyes
What happened to you
were you hurt a lot
any scars left
why do you let your hair down so low
to hide what

 It was a side profile that I have seen before. Wind was blowing and
your hair flapped and flapped against your face. Your hands gathered them together, a little too quick a motion, it let me guess that you were embarrassed.

That's when our eyes met.
You recognized me and I recognized you.
We've met before. But not as friends. Not yet. I was thinking about saying hello and
the wind stopped. Your eyes hid behind the long hair of yours.

Hidden under, you walk away,
that way.

I hesitated
to move but to which way? I wanted to walk
that way, with you.
But I hesitated. But I wanted to walk along with you and get rid of that long hair of yours.

Instead, I didn't move at all. Now I sit here and taste the sweet liquid inside my mouth.
Whether you have really recognized me, was something I was no longer sure of. I couldn't ask whether you knew my name nor no.
Will I see you again, though, probably. We go to the same school, after all. But could I once again
make your eyes meet mine. That is something

I don't have any answers to.
