A Story of Polka Dots and Silly Shoes

The trail of smoke lingered from your mouth as you studied mine with such a fierce intent that my knee began to shake.

Under your stare I felt like art; a revered piece of work finally appreciated for all its flaws and awkward brushstrokes.

You extended your hand using your fingers to trace the shape of my arm - circling my wrist - finally resting in my unsteady palm.

Your overwhelming strong skin against my own frail tapestry.

Across the table, I was mesmerized by the slight curl in your smile - the smirk you set free when your thoughts have admittedly run rampant.

You found the way I hold my wine glass amusing and I was suddenly envious of your cigarette; cradled tightly and pressed against your lips.
