You stood so close to me.
A slight gust and our lips could have met.
Your gaze so deep, I forgot it was yours. My reflection so strong, so unreal.
But damn those eyes.
Maybe that was the moment I fell in love. Or I realized what was love.
Not lust. This was different.
Don’t get me wrong I wanted you
But I wanted so much of you, not just your body
The whole of you. To be mine
You wanted me too.
You wanted those nights where I was just me.
The days when there was nothing special
Those normal days
Boring days which we forget
But you wanted Us to be happy together
Not just the special days
The funny thing is there was nothing magical in our meeting
Just a Hi, I am so lost but ambitious.
But we talked, we talked till lunch and till dinner
You now knew more about me than most people in my life
You knew if I wanted kids
What oatmeal I like
What I want from life
What freedom means to me
The date was nothing special too
I was not dressed up, you weren’t too
But it was my favorite normal day food
You still made the most normal day Perfect
It started raining on our way back
We were in your room, with you staring at me,
I could hear your heartbeat, maybe it was mine
Now I believe they were in sync
You asked if you could kiss me
‘Can you kiss me all day from this day’, I said
Your hands slowly slid through my body
It was as if you knew my body forever
You knew what to do
Where to be gentle
Where not
Your body felt like an ocean to me
My body floating over it
The slow kissing on my body felt like tapping into the deep mines of memory
All the years without you now felt like nothing
Like I had known you forever
Like we belonged together forever
I feared loosing you
Loosing this feeling the next morning
Maybe next morning would be all normal
‘Like we meet a person whom we are attracted to and the next day we realize how different we are and how all love bullshit was just too much alcohol ‘
I felt the touch of your lips on my forehead
I knew I was safe
Safe to open my eyes
Safe to realize how you made the normal special
Safe to know you were real
Looking at me with the sun shining over your body
I wanted to touch you and never let you go
That moment is frozen inside my head
And here I am writing about it two years later………….
