“Kiss me.” That’s her saying it, not me.  “Go on a date with me.”  I feel her chest rise with a deep inhale. “Take me home with you.” I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but instead of saying yes, I plead, “Go on a date with me.”  “Zee.” She pulls back, and just like that, the song is over as well as the night. Immediately I’m swarmed with people, shaking my hand, saying good night. It’s overwhelming, to say the least, but all I want is a different answer from the girl who seems to be drifting further away from me as tonight’s guests bombard my space. My gaze continues to flicker to the beauty in blue, but eventually, my attention is pulled to the mass of people I have to thank for coming out tonight. And when I look back to where she was standing, she’s gone.”

“Maybe love is singing her favorite song in the dark, just so she can sleep. Maybe love is giving away the shoes on your feet to help keep her warm. Maybe love is coming over in the middle of the night when the power goes out because you know she’s afraid of the dark. And maybe love is walking away because it’s the only way she’ll find the light again.”

“I do not believe for one moment you are stupid. I am watching you, little gildi.”
