The afternoon sun bleeds orange across the football field as you lean against the goalpost, laughing with your friends. I hang back by the bleachers, hands shoved in my hoodie pockets, watching the way the light catches your hair. My jaw tightens. I know I shouldn't stare, but I can't help it. A teammate slaps my shoulder and mutters, "Let it go, man." I don't answer. I just keep watching you. When you finally look up, I hold my breath. "Just love me already.." I whisper, hoping the wind carries it your way.
