Claire

Claire has short, dark brown hair with bangs
Sometimes a cat eye, ambiguous
whether it’s intentionally smudged
It makes me think that her morning must be a bright one
when she does that
As a result, it lights up my day as well
She is gently confident, assertive
and direct
but also chill and relaxed at the same time
She always wears a half smile
as if she is constantly mildly amused
Could it ever be by me?
One time she said to me
“pretty please”
after asking me to send her something a second time
I felt smitten for the whole day
willfully misinterpreting what she meant
From time to time I fantasize about the possibility of asking her out
getting to know what she likes
what her childhood was like
whether she is close to her family
enjoyed school
whether she has any troubles
and feels lonely sometimes, too
But the truth is
I don’t even think about her that much
Still, it’s kinda sweet
isn’t it?
to have a canvas in life
where I can project everything and anything but my insecurities
