Unfinished poem

A Late Afternoon Spent by the Rain-Drenched Window of a Very Quiet Library

His hands in my hair
Stir me from my reading.
-I’ve always loved your hair.

-Why?

-Because its golden. 
That’s something I’ve never had.
But being around you…
It’s almost like having it for myself.

My white and peach finger
Meandering up his fleshy pink cheek.
-I’ve always loved your eyes.

-Why?

-Because they’re blue.

-Yours are better. 
Blue is passé.
Haven’t you heard?
Green is the new blue…
Beautiful, but mysterious.

Cheeky grin
-Oh yeah?
Been reading Cosmo, have we?

-Aha…
I think I’m in love with you.

-Why?

-Because you’re you.
And you is a beautiful thing.

My cheeks tingle
And the rain crashes against the glass.
-Well, I think I’m in love with you too.

Boyish eyes sparkle
-Why?

-Because you have blue eyes.
