That Boy
I saw that boy again today. The one that always seems to creep into my imagination even when I try not to think about him. Because I can feel myself falling further and further in love with someone who will never know I exist.
I see him sitting next to me by the campfire when I'm wearing old jeans and a sweatshirt with no makeup on. He smiles at me with those deep dimples that can't possibly be so cute. We are roasting marshmallows with my family and he insists on making me a s'more because he knows just how I like them (a golden brown, not burnt). He gets up and grabs a stick. I watch him patiently and smile to myself because I love him so much, the way he bites his lip ring in concentration and the way he runs a hand through that tall blonde hair. As if he could feel me looking at him, he looks up and gives me one of those smiles that makes his eyes seem bluer. But because he got distracted for those two seconds, flames jump onto the marshmallow and engulf it in fire. My boy's eyes widen and he shakes the stick wildly and puffs out his cheeks like he's blowing out a candle. I try not to laugh as he finally douses the fire, and that once white, fluffy treat is black and gooey. His eyebrows scrunch together in disappointment, but I grab graham crackers and I piece of chocolate and eat it anyway because he tried so hard. I slip my hand into his and rest my head on his shoulder and ignore the 'awes' that travel around the camp fire from my family.
I see this boy every where with me doing everything because I can actually imagine being with him. But if we were to ever meet in person, he would smile like he is supposed to and hug me for a photo but it wouldn't be like I imagined it so many times because he doesn't know me like I know him. I'm just another face and he is my whole world. But he doesn't know that. I'm just another girl that loves him out of millions and chances are, I won't be one he remembers. But I will always remember it. Because he will always live on in my mind as that boy I loved but couldn't have.
