The tendrils of my hair illumlnate beneath the amber glow.

Bathing.

In the distance,a blue-green light flickers.

A lone figure crosses its path-a silhouette obstructing the eerie glow.

My heart pounds.The silhouette glows.Closer,Closer

I open my umbrella,casting a shadow to shield me from visibility.

but i am too late.

He steps into the streetlight.I gasp and drop my umbrella.

The light flickers.My heart pounds.He raises his arm.

Time stops.

The only indication of movement is the amber light flickering against his outstretched arm.

The flickering light is in rhythm with the pounding of my heart.

Teasing me for succumbing to this forbidden emotion.

Have you ever heard of a ghost feeling warmth before?

Giving up on understanding,i laugh.

Understanding is overrated.

I touch his hand.The flickering stops.

Ghosts are blue-green.My heart is amber.
