Gentle smile on my face belied my desire, but my wants were hidden well. The embrace we shared seemed to last forever, though barriers never fell. Her head upon my shoulder placed her lips at my ear; she whispered this: "I treasured your soul in those eyes, and tasted the world in every kiss." Wrapping my arms around her tight, I felt trickle of tears upon my neck, Though I maintained outward strength, my mind became a mangled wreck. A faceless public meandered by; occasional glances were thrown our way, Understanding looks came from mostly women; men had nothing to say. I realized that we were scene familiar to most: two people holding on, Cradled in a little bundle of special, perhaps something too far gone. In the arms of the one we love, caring nothing for what others thought, The world disappeared for awhile, and we stood in a place time forgot. Anticipation began to mist my eyes, but I willed away a cry to retreat, I loosened her grip around me, looked upon her face, our time complete. Taking her hand in mine, her finger then traced the cross over my heart, It signified how blessed I'd felt; then came the time for her to depart. She turned to leave, and I had succeeded in letting who I adore go free, But goodbyes are easier said than done, even if the return comes to be. |
