The Walk

The trees whispered above us as we walked down a twisty dirt road that disappeared into the depths of the wood, adding mystery to our journey. I had my hands smashed into my pants pockets as I stared straight down at the puffs of dirt kicked up by our feet and then carried away by the small breeze blowing through. She walked beside me, her brown hair shifting with the wind, brushing past her face as she stared up at the trees, her eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "Your oftly quiet"she said, her face breaking into a smile. "your never quiet, whats up?" My stomach did a somersault and my heart fluttered inside my chest.  I looked over at her and them back at the ground, not knowing how to say it. "I realized something" I said finally, still looking at the ground. She nodded for me to go on. "I realized that I like someone, but I don't know how to tell them." Her face fell, as if contemplating every word. We walked a few feet in silence, the breeze whipping through the trees above our heads, creating a soft melody of twirling leaves and brushing branches. Suddenly she stopped. She looked me strait in the eye, her deep brown ones causing my heart and my stomach to switch places. Looking me in the eye, she grabbed my hand, and the world stopped spinning. I was left speechless and stunned, unable to move, then my heart took over and before I knew what I was doing I had leaned down and she had raised on her toes. We met like two ions hurtling toward each other in slow motion, but the explosion was much greater. We parted, she blushed and the world continued to spin once more. The only difference was my smiling face and her hand wrapped in mine.
