I’m scared of silverfish and you know it’s the only bug that’s made me jump on a chair and actually start to cry.
Pretty embarrassing.
And I don’t know why they scare me so much when they can’t hurt me but they do.
And your perfect lips upturned in a smile. Laughing, all the while I’m standing on this chair and you’re standing over there, still laughing –but trying not to ‘cause you know I’m scared so you hold me.
And I like when you do.
The feel of the cloth of your vest on my face as I lie on your chest, relaxed and I wait.
This is fun, huh? Nice like this. You ask me what I’m thinking but I can’t say, just keep blinking, and all I muster is, "I don’t know."
I would've liked to talk about your headband rather than a vest, but I expected to read this aloud and more often than not, boys don't wear headbands.
