i could feel your heated stare burning against my back as i tried to remain cool and collected with composure. yet it’s my conscience that tames the wild manifestation of passion building up in my heart. i wish our inner beasts would take hold of our dispositions and reveal the true nature of our feelings. and so you remembered my name. your lips played with it as the sound rolled off your tongue and resounded in your mouth. it was such a lovely tune. i wish you could sing it to me but for now, i must wait for your next hello.
