I think he's lost on some horizon...

cosmic_llinIt was such a little romance, not even deserving of that title, really.
What was it, when it came down to it? It was that first moment of, oh! – you like the same things as me. It was the way he would look at her when he made a joke, hoping she would get it. It was the way she always did get it, and she would make sure to smile, so he knew.
What could there really ever have been between them? Was it enough, that she liked the way he read aloud? The moments when he couldn't help showing how deeply the words of strangers could touch him? That they had once or twice had something like a proper conversation?
No, of course it wasn't enough. They didn't know enough about each other, and there was no way to find out. There was no way to make it last. A few weeks, that was all, and no reason to see him again.
It was such a little romance – not even really a romance at all.
So why should she miss him?
