Last Kiss
For you it was just another affair but for me it was true love. You knew we weren't meant to be one but I never believed that.
The door bursted open and he entered, 'Hey! Guys, wanna go out, and grab a drink?'
They all replied with a yes.
But I was all lost, lost in him. In his eyes, in his soul. The entire time I had been looking at him. Still going back to that night, at his backyard, when things became a little more intimate and we had shared our first kiss. My first ever kiss. I kept smiling like an idiot untill Niki waved her hands infront of my face, 'Where are you lost?'
I just gathered myself again and said yes for the drink. We jumped in the car and headed to the shop.
It was our last time meeting, the last movie together, the last hugs, well wishes, fun, goodbyes. We had our the respective colleges to go to, and this was the last celebration of our friendship before we all left. Everyone was looking forward to their new colleges and making new friends. I was also excited but in between that I had fallen in love.
The car took it's pace, the windows open, the radio bursting and us having fun. There was nothing really special that happened in the party until evening when everyone was enjoying the pool, I wasn't and sitting there, being with my self, revisiting the memories we had made all these years.
Just then he came up, he looked fascinating, all wet, water dripping from his hairs, he asked me to come along, ofcourse I went, I wouldn't deny, I would cherish him as long as I could. He pulled me behind the house on the empty side.
'Well,...so you are leaving, I'm also leaving, what about us then?' He asked
I stayed silent.
He again spoke, 'I know we won't end up together, so this is the last gift I'm giving you and the last give you are giving me.
He pulled me into a soft kiss, but long, sadness, happiness, desperation, calmness. Everything was there. I felt his lips against mine, soft and plump. I could feel him devouring me. I just wanted to be like that forever.
We broke the kiss and hugged. We stayed that way until, we got a hint that our friends were looking for us because we had to head back home. And then leave tomorrow, to start a new journey, he wouldn't be there, my friends wouldn't be too, I would be alone or have made new friends. I couldn't sleep the entire night.
And even today him and his kisses are still special. I loved him once, and some part of it remained forever and always.
