[02]
my parents were downstairs watching television, while they thought i was up in my bedroom sleeping, but i was headed out.
they wouldn't have checked up on me anyway, so i climbed out of my window in and went to the store. it was quite a long walk, the store not being close to my house.
i bought a one of those fancy bottles of water, and a pack of mint gum.
instead to going the way i came, i took the route i took last night.
what i presumed to the be the man from last night, was sitting on the bench again. i took a seat next to him.
he looked up, but not at me. I could definitely tell it was him now.
he took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter out of his pocket. he lit the cigarette, and brought it up to his mouth, but before smoking, his eyes turned to me. the man smiled and took put the cigarette in this mouth before slowly removing it and exhaling.
he was beautiful, that man. i'll always remember the way he smiled at me.
he got up, throwing the cigarette on the ground and stepping on it.
"goodnight."
he crossed the street, walking down the stairs to the subway.
