ached

• even as he holds her hand
• he can’t help but notice
• the way his warm brown eyes glinted
• the way his soft hair shone

• he couldn’t help but notice
• his smile, the curl of his lips
• his laugh, too beautiful to miss

• and his heart ached
• his heart ached for him
• he wanted nothing
• nothing other than to be
• with him

• even as he holds her hand
• he watches the boy
• sitting by his lonesome
• nodding his head to the beat of
• a song no one else could hear

• his heart fluttered with the thought
• of his arms around him
• his fingers running
• through his soft hair
• the thought
• of him looking up
• and he sees those lovely eyes
• and slowly
• slowly
• their lips connect

• And his heart ached
• His heart ached for him
• He wanted nothing
• Nothing other than to be
• next to him
• holding him
• loving him

• even as he holds her hand And she drags him away
• his heart aches
• his heart aches for him
