her little world

met the most adorable pair of twins yesterday :)
i love their eyes, love their laughter, love the way they want my attention, love their everything.

i like the way she holds my hand and we're suddenly friends.
i like the way she cuddles into my lap and studies my face as if i'm a strange, foreign being.
and i like the way she invited me to play, to allow me into the world she created for herself and i was sad to decline.

sad when it came time to leave but it made me smile when they took my things and hid them away behind their backs so i wouldn't go.
now, i'm missing them the same way i missed a little girl i met over a year ago.

and i'm so afraid i would forget their faces, their smiles and their innocence.
and forget the way i felt so ready to give them anything in exchange for one more smile, one more hug and one more giggle.
