Burn

They talk about people getting on like a house on fire. 
When we met, the pub, river, roads, houses, the entire surrounding area felt like it was on fire. 
The conversation so fast paced we didn't get the chance to kiss. 
Let's do this again, you said, when I tore myself away. 
My heart leapt when I saw your name light up my phone the next morning. 
It's been a month and the pair of grey ticks next to my response drive me crazy every time I look.
