Simple Things

When he laughs
looks at me with star-shine eyes,
mine, and mine only
i melt
insides tumult
somersaulting, tumbling

our first day spent together
feeling invincible
and i let him hold my hands,
for just long enough
before pulling away

"I'm taken," I said,
then he smiled with a sadness
"I know," he said,
and I smiled with a sadness

(but the last part isn't true).
