tf was playing a big show. it must have been near my house. it had the same feeling as the festivals we played in england, it was a big busy outdoor show.
we finished playing and i walked through the crowd to my home.
just after i got home someone came to get me because the band had decided to play another song for an encore. it was so long since the show had ended i thought it was silly to go all the way back. at first i rushed around, but then as the time got longer and longer, i stopped rushing. it was such a ridiculous time to come back and play one more song anyway, a few more mintues wouldn't make it any more ridiculous.
so i sat on the step to slowly tie my shoes. my laces were great big squares of fabric, and very hard to tie.
he sat on the step behind me. when i was almost finished, i could feel him touching my neck gently and playing with my hair. he said something like "can you believe i'm doing this?" and i (still tying my shoe) said "imagine that". i wished i knew how to be less awkward about it, because i was so happy on the inside.
i wondered how i could manage to kiss him, with the awkward way we were sitting, and i wondered if we would hold hands on the way back to the show.
