awkward teenage years

the light in your bedroom was always dim,
that sky blue color looked so fuzzy
your bed, always covered in quilts, always inviting me in
and I remember you caught me staring into your quarters, I
blushed and walked off into the kitchen, realizing later
that you had followed. I could feel your eyes on my back and
you began cutting a grapefruit into two pieces-
offering me half
I declined and you fussed over the fact that I didn't like grapefruit
as your one night stand gathered her things and shyly
excused herself, looking at me in a way that evoked so many
emotions. eyes sad and hollow.
I felt so awkward in that moment, and you, I
guess you felt the need to explain
"I couldn't go through with things...with her,"
"Oh,"--I really didn't understand where this was headed
"See, I've got myself set on you, but, seeing as how I can't
have you..." your voice trailed off, as I gasped highly
flattered but unsure of
what exactly was to come next.
