Beyond the Gaze of a Boy - Hesitant

The silence - relative, considering the noise of our surroundings - stretches on for too long while I struggle.

Please do!

I know I won't be able to lie to him, but if he doesn't feel the same - and why on earth would he want someone like me? - then I'll never be able to look at him again.

This is the first time we've ever really talked, and I find I like it. I want more of this - so much more - and it terrifies me that I might lose it so soon.

"Is there anyone you want?" he whispers.
