It's exactly two a.m. There was no one around but me and him. No one, I told myself and all we did was smile like we haven't known each other yet.

"Nobody could smile like you," He had said, I wasn't stupid but I still smiled.

"And nobody could say it better than you."

I'm not going to say it. I'm not going down without a fight.

Hands in his coat pockets, cheeks flaring red, he said, "If I ever get to say your name, I'd do it in a heartbeat."

All I kept thinking was saying it, giving him permission to open me up like I'm long lost treasure chest, inside it, laid my heart, my very fragile heart.

"Then say it." I dared him and I honestly don't know what to do if he ever did.

"I love you," cheeks still flushed, he mustered another breath while I mouthed the things I shouldn't have said. "Taylor." He sighed at that.
