I’m wondering what she’s thinking as she sits there looking off into the distance. The sun is going down and the sunset over London is beautiful. She rolls her eyes to the side and tilts her head back slightly so that she’s looking directly at me. Our eyes lock. Her deep, doe-eyed gaze is completely captivating as it searches my face for answers. My stare lingers as I admire her unrivalled beauty, seizing the opportunity while I can.
“What?” she remarks as she grins, pretending my attention had gone unnoticed.
She turns back to the sunset, her long brown wavy locks rolling over her shoulders. The diminishing sunlight does nothing to alter her allure, the orange-tinted clouds ahead casting the last rays onto her lustrous face. There was nothing about her that I did not yearn for, nothing to restrain my full and utmost devotion to her. There is no limit for words upon which I could use to describe her: gorgeous, sweet, intelligent, funny, beautiful, caring, kind, all of which she is without a doubt. I am utterly infatuated with her. I love her.
I shift on the bench so that I’m sitting sideways, facing her. She turns yet again to face me with a cheeky grin, raised cheeks, and a curious look in her eye.
“Seriously, whaaat?” she smirks as she too turns her body so that we’re now opposite each other.
“You know... I just can’t get my head around you,” I reply in all seriousness.
She greets me with a look of wonder as I move my hand to tuck her hair behind her left ear.
“You shouldn’t let your hair cover your face,” I say with a hint of affection, hoping not to sound condescending.
