Jewels

i smiled

as i saw you
violet
light streaming through a sapphire
the stars of a hundred different colours
dancing around your silhouette
as you towered over me

you spoke with that lovely smirk
with lies that only made me grin

you laughed at my jokes
as if i were real to you
i listened to your stories
as if you were real to me

as i reached for your hand
you reached for my wallet
i shook my head, and you paused

locked in each other's gaze
the words barely came out of my mouth
"allow me," i managed
as i reached
into my pocket

you smiled
