I opened my eyes. I'm reading myself in the morning, a golden cheekbone lined by the rising sun, beautiful in its simplicity. I touch it once, her skin warm under my fingers, a reminder of how alive we are, how young we are. We are teenagers. Our hands are clumsy, too big for our skinny limbs, not sure where to go or what you think. These hands hold pens and books and dreams. We discussed the future in vivid colours, full of blossoming hope of what it could hold. Neither of us say it, our lips tired by the thin string of fear. But our dreams involve each other. Neither of us knows what love means, but our kisses fuelled by wandering hands and inexperienced tongues. But I know the lines of her face better than I know the words of my textbook. Neither of us know anything, but we know each other. We grow as all things do, messily with anger and lust and tears. She holds the neck of a bottle of beer, her head tilted back, laughing into the night, her cheeks flushed. She is brighter than any star, and I wonder if I could replicate the jewels in her eyes and make them into a jewel for her finger. I smile small and take another step. I know that she is the one.
