Everyone is laughing when time slows.
His eyes meet mine.
He's caught me admiring him.
I'm afraid he can see it in my eyes.
I want to look away, to conceal my thoughts.
But I want to hold his gaze a moment longer.
I wonder what he sees in my eyes.
Does he admire my smile as I do his?
I admonish myself for daring the hope.
He only happened to catch my gaze.
Could the laughter in his eyes be something more?
I need to look away.
I don't want him to read my eyes.
I tear my brown away from his blue.
My heart finishes skipping its beat.
Time resumes its normal pace.
Everyone is still laughing.
Only I saw time slow.
