Held Breath

In the Rain, Stars Align

Countless of nights of reluctant sleep

Hours of internet messages

Cups of sugar and baking soda spilled

Minutes on a Spotify Playlist

Say yes?

 

Two dust bunnies inhaled

Four markers used dry

Three hours of brainstorming

One tablespoon of food dye

Say yes?

 

Countless inside jokes

Four years of memories

Weeks of deliberation

Five people who tease

Say yes?

 

Two orders of pillows because you couldn't decide

Only two months left

A friendly rivalry that only strengthened

One last test

Say yes?

 

One day of "once in a lifetime"

Weeks of searching for the dress

Two lungs to expand in anxiety

Three minutes to confess

Say yes?

 

 

He said yes.

Chapter 30: That girl is smart :) I mean, it's hard to trust a guy after what they do to another girl. You just feel that insecurity, wondering whether he'll repeat the same cycle with you.
