Small Talk.

She exudes passion and contempt as the rain steadily pours. He waits for her in the awkward silence. The words are there, but they won't leave her lips, they sit impatiently in her throat. Not yet...
Bitting her lips to hold back the anxious words; their eyes meet. With a deflecting blink the moment ends and they turn away. That was not the way she had planned it. A gulp of air to calm the butterflies. Deep breathes. A wave of disapointment engulfs her. Another chance shot down by her own insecurities. When will the mass murder of oppertunities end?
Disapointment tears begin to well in her eyes and like the rain, they pour in silence, more in anger than in sadness.
Tell him.
She shakes the rain from her face and stands with an uneasy and forced confidence. Her heart beats with a desire to finally be let go. He stands before her. The words are there again, more aprehensive than ever before. They are ready to burst forward from her mouth.
She reaches to hold them back, but this time theres no stoping them...They broke free!
"I LOVE YOU!"
