When you left last time, we shared long hugs and kisses. And I swear I could still smell your scent in my place for a few days after you walked out the door. Like a taste that lingered, refusing to dissipate. Like a phantom that wandered, not wanting to disappear.
What we thought was goodbye, was not.
Synchronicity happened once more and we crossed path again, albeit very briefly. And I found my world to be shaken once more, out of its equilibrium. Such is your power on me, such is your charm on me.
And then came another goodbye.
When you left this time, we shared long hugs and kisses. I rest my head on your shoulder, on the nook just under your neck that held my hopes and unspoken words. Your skin and beard brushed softly against my nose, and I breathe in deeply. The familiar faint scent of your cologne comforted me.
I breathe in deeply just to take it all in, in an attempt to absorb the moment more. This fleeting moment that may not come again. The world was on a standstill for a while, and I secretly wished it would stand still forever, if not for longer.
"You take care." You whispered softly into my ear, your voice caressing my soul, leaving an echo in my mind.
"You take care." You whispered softly into my ear, your voice caressing my soul, leaving an echo in my mind.
When you left this time, we shared long hugs and kisses. And I was left wondering when will we sync again, as you walk away with another piece of me.
Goodbye. Perhaps this time it's forever.
