As I looked over at her, it struck me how beautiful she was. Her hair was blowing carelessly in the wind, a halo on her head. I had the oddest impulse to reach out and touch. See if it was as soft as it looked. Her lips were curled into a soft smile that radiated warmth. I wondered who or what she was thinking of and my heart skipped a beat imagining her smiling for me. 

It's crazy how i never noticed how blue her eyes are. Or how her laughter sounds like summertime. It's strange how I never really looked at her. And suddenly i couldn't stop staring.

Chasing Sunshine

I was an hour early. Can you blame me? It's been a year since I last saw Zayleigh. It's not that we were mad at each other, it's just that we're both so busy. As soon as Uni started we were both caught in a storm of assignments and practicals and we barely talked. When we did, she always looked so exhausted and I tried to catch up with her as fast as possible so that she could get some sleep. The time difference was also an issue that hindered our ability to keep in touch. 


But now we're here, and we've been planning this for months and I won't let anything get in the way of this. So I arrived an hour early, hoping that by some miracle, the plane would get here ahead of time. 


I didn't know if she was bringing Spencer. I hoped she didn't. I didn't even know if they were still together, she doesn't talk much about him anymore. But maybe that's just because our time is so limited. I had to admit that some part of me hoped they weren't together anymore.
