don’t

he stared at her with a smile curled up on his face.

she looked down, her eyes locked to the ground. even to this day, she still had not get used to the feel when someone stare at her that way; so attentively like she has the entire galaxy in her eyes.

both of them wished silently.

“don’t,” she said.

“what?”

“don’t look at me like that. you know how i’m still not used to your stares.”

he curled up a wider smile as he watched her getting all blushed.

“but why? i want to keep looking at your face. it’s hard for me not to.”

she lifted her head up to look at him in his dark eyes; deeply, directly. this time, she put out a rather serious smile.

“you know,” she chuckled softly, her hand reaching out to hold his gently. “there is no single thing that you do and did that didn’t left me in amazement.”

“i wished something to time.”

“what did you wish for?”

“i wished that time wouldn’t fly so fast,” she paused before she continued.

“i wished that i could freeze the time and just stay in the moment, holding on to this feeling i have when i’m with you. i still want to be with you.”
