8:35 in the morning
her lips were smeared with red and her blue eyes were cased by large round glasses. the ear bud in her ear whispered music that made her skin cold, but the lyrics paled in comparison to his voice murmuring the invitation to come with him because "today is about doing something different".
laughter proceeded them as they trekked through the uncharted territories and, hand in hand, they stuck their flag straight into the rocky soil. the other passer bys watched with confused expressions as the two made their own memories because they weren't the first to be there. but today was about being different so the two didn't care; they didn't need to be the only ones there for it to be theirs.
he was about being different. he was made to be spontaneous. he flirted with disaster, but disaster was the one that ended up hurt. his eyes pierced her soul and seemed to understand every word she's never had the courage to say out loud. and with every smile he flashed, her broken heart sighed back into place; even if it was for only a moment.
today was supposed to be about being different and that's exactly what it was.
today she tried on a different person in between pairs of overalls and a tie that had scrooge stitched on the front. she tried on someone who was assertive and who was brave. she tried on someone who didn't care what others thought and someone who didn't even do her hair. this person called her name and latched themselves onto her back .
today was about being different, but maybe different will become the new normal because different sits just right. different feels good.
