She knew it
that night
at the Halloween party

he avoided
her glances

she
forlorn and disinterested
confused
conflicted

reached out
the only way she could

he responded
the only way he could

connection
controlled and contained
but connection
was there

she knew it
that night
he loved her

she knew
he yearned for her
the same way
she yearned for him

she knew it
that night
at the Halloween party

ya know

I'm not sure I like this one. In editing I took out what it was supposed to really say, which was that night at the Halloween party (or more accurately, in the postprocessing of the Halloween party) was when she realized he loved her. In rereading this now, I feel like that piece is completely missing. Oh well. Live, learn, rewrite.

Very wise observation, Oldbear. Thank you.

re: avoiding reality

Reality is what you make it. This pair, as does any other, has the power to create their own reality. The only caveat is that they create together, otherwise what could have been reality forever remains fantasy.
