“You look beautiful.” I told her.
She looked over her shoulder and sarcastically said, “Thank you for the originality!”
I tried again.
“Your eyes are like two crystal clear skies of blue!”
She laughed, “Please, tell me more heartfelt cliche’s!”
It turned into a game,
we were both smiling.
I tried once more.
“You look like-”
She interrupted, “A million bucks?”
Her eyes lit up and she thought she had outwitted me.
“A million bucks, tax free.”
As I walked away,
I could feel her eyes follow me.
