Wet Grass

She sits in the shade, when everyone else plays under the sun, brushing those wavy black curls with her fingers. She is just so beautiful, the way she talks, the way she thinks, the way she looks at me and above all the way she loves. I love it when she starts a conversation with her wise observations, witty comments and how she trails off topic, as if she has lost interest. I love the way she sucks her lips, when she is trying to concentrate. I love how she pretends to understand all the dirty jokes, her fake laughs, the way she ignores compliments because she doesn't know how to react. I love how she can be completely innocent one minute and shamelessly inappropriate the next. I love the sound of her hiccupy laugh, even when it is loud and weird.  I love how her lips curl downwards when she smiles.I love to just look at her, I could do it for hours, or even days maybe. Looking at her, God, it is like standing on wet grass, bare feet; stinging yet soothing, so refreshing. She is

Not that I had forgotten her, like I ever could, but I didn't expect to see her, at least not there not like that. And she looked just as surprised, surprised but beautiful. As she recognized me, she smiled her usual nervous smile, God! I loved that smile. Then she said my name and it seemed like it was just yesterday that I last saw her, held her hand for the last time. We decided to have coffee and catch up. I asked her, if she was happy. She shook her head and then grinned at me like it was okay, like that's what she had wanted. And then as if she knew what I was thinking, she had always known what I thought, she said "Don't Worry! I wouldn't have been happy with you either. I guess I am just built that way". "But I would have been happy with you" I regretted the moment I said that but I guess sometimes it is okay to say how you feel,
