Conflicted Hearts
My vision is blurry, can't make a clear image of the person before me.
I blink twice, cleaning my tear-stained cheeks. I put my hand on my forehead to shield my eyes from the sun. There she is, the person who tapped me. Concern is embedded in her heart-stopping blue eyes as she studies me. I never understood the term "lost in one's eyes" but I am truly lost. Not just her eyes though but in her face, as she stands under the sun, windblown strawberry blonde hair, high cheekbones, and for some reason she is smiling down at me. Her smile is so warm that makes my shoulders less tense. It's like a weight has been lifted. s
