I can't close my eyes for too long. I might see those brown eyes shine, I might be confronted by that one smile you showed only when you laughed, I might remember how it felt to kiss you, I might hear that car karaoke voice sing again, I might smell your distinct cologne. I just . . can't close my eyes for too long. -J.C.
