Bubble of Positivity

She liked walking. At a certain time of day— As she’d pass my place, Her pace would melt. Like sugar on a stove, Before quickly bubbling up, As I opened the door. All colours caught her eyes. From the softest red, To the brightest green— She would lean towards them. With shocking electricity, That 1000 volt smile, Brighter than any colour I’ve seen. Presentations were her worst nightmare. Something straight out of a thriller— Her heart would beat out of it’s chest. Though rest would escape it, As she dashed out of the room, Into the corridor, Frantically grabbing my hand, Before stopping once more. A girl who did it all. At the very least she did most— Keeping her love hidden away. She’d pray to never be hurt, Pushing away those who care, Hoping I’d see her smile— But all I saw was her glare.
