since his return from a stay on the moon.

"I'm afraid that [he] might think of me as:
Plain ol' Jane told a story about a man
Who was too afraid to fly so he never did land."
- Drops of Jupiter, Train


there was this over-whelming distance.
this barrier that only needed time to fall.
as the seconds grew shorter, her heart beat faster.
his presence fell closer and her breaths,
farther apart.

she could imagine his chuckle, his soft smile.
confident dreaming could sustain her aching heart.
her mind was restless; too trusting in rumors.
until she forced herself to replace her hope
with reality.

her mind redirected, but still her heart
chased after a shooting star--out of reach.
her mind reinforced the barrier's strength.
whispers slipped through the cracks; her heart
beat on.

displaced and erased again and again,
her feelings fought through and her love,
her adoration remained for him. a boy
of few words, whose glance turned her knees
into eggshells.

**Summer-school should be forbidden for future doctors that I'm infatuated with. Okay?
