Charlotte's Valentine

I woke up to a knock on the door. Who could it be? I looked at the clock. It read 5:14. Who could be at my door at 5:14? I look through the peep hole and it's him. The guy I watched from my window and watch for when he takes out his trash. I open the door as my heart is beating faster and faster. I smile ans say hi. He smiles back and says hi. I'm wondering why he's standing at my door when he gives me a daisy and says Happy Valentine's Day. I could have died but instead I said that you as he leaned in to give me a hug. I could have stayed there for days but it only lasted a few seconds. I could smell his cologne and feel that he's just saved. I wonder what it would be like to smell that smell everyday and to feel his face everyday. As we break our embrace he gentle kisses me on my cheek and says he thinks I'm beautiful. I'm speechless. I can't form any words to say what I'm feeling right now. My heart is beating fast, pumping blood as fast as it can. My hands are shaking, I don't know what to do. My face begins to hurt from smiling so much. All I can manage to say is a soft and quiet thank you. I feel the moment slipping away like I should say more but I'm lost for words. If I don't say something quick he'll leave and walk out of my life forever. I need something to say. I'm so busy thinking and arguing with my head that I don't hear his question. I ask him to repeat it. He asks if I want to be him Valentine and I say sure and he says great and that he'll pick me up at 8 to take me out, and I say cool. At this point, I'm not even thinking just saying whatever will make him happy. Whatever it takes to keep him standing there, at my door. Whatever it takes so that I can smell him again, to feel him again. He stands there for a while smiling at me, I'm smiling at him. I ask him what he's looking at and he says nothing, just something amazing beautiful. And I just can't control myself, I could burst happiness all over my doorway. He finally decides he'll leave and bids me farewell, I'm hesitant to close my door, to end the moment to stop this never ending bliss but he's already turned away and is walking back across the street. I slowly walk back to my bed wondering if I'm only dreaming, but then I look at the daisy in my hand and realize that was real, it was so real. I can barely fall asleep, but when I do, it's with a smile on my face. I can't wait for tonight.
