He looks at me with those eyes as blue as an ocean

his face cracked wide open with a smile

the chip in his right canine tooth a reminder of last summer

my heart swells as i hold out a shaking hand to meet his much larger one

im swallowed by him, his hands, his presence, the way he makes me feel

his rough pinky wraps around mine

i chuckle a rough burst from my lungs when he leans into kiss me

his face flushes scarlet while his brain rushes to find where he went wrong

a simple mistake of a gesture of friendship as something much more

he looks at me with eyes as grey as the coming storm

his heart cracked like the desert after a long drought

the blood pooling under the skin as he pinches his wrist tight to keep from screaming

my heart falls as i try to reach out for his shaking arm

im swallowed by the feeling of betrayal

he shakes me off and goes to leave

i reach out for his pinky and clutch it with my much smaller hand

"you promised to stay" i whisper and tug him back down beside me

"i need you more now than ever friend"

"friend" he says his eyes cast downward

i giggle and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer

i hear him sigh and sink into me

i know he would never break the pinky promise

its as sacred to him as the bible is to a christian

or the stars and the moon are to me
