My heart is pounding, starts to cause me pain. “someone is breaking my heart.” No, someone already broke my heart; it was you. It beats every time your near, like a warning sign urging me to take cover. I duck, I run, I do anything to stay hidden from your sight, your watch. Hiding behind the tree we had our first kiss, I sit on the grass and cover my eyes. My heart slows down two beats as I get up to walk down to the trail we always walked.
Your hand held my hand, caressed my face, wiped my tears away; so many things you were good at. I loved it even more when you always looked into my eyes.
I walked to the end of the trail where we sat to watch the river flow over the smooth stones. I always come here to say goodbye to the person I use to love. How can it be goodbye when today I’m here saying goodbye again. You broke my heart, not gonna pour out any details; its pain and simple. I still say I love you, not to your face, not to your friends or mine; but to the memories I carry in my back pocket.
No warning, no thump or beat, just you; kneeling behind me at my feet. My heart gave a jump as you spoke “you are my one and only, you can wrap your fingers ‘round my thumb, and hold me tight, you’ll be alright” words I always sang to you while you slept in my arms. Still my mind was telling me to run, my heart was saying one chance. Words started pouring out flowing through my ears, around my heart. Tears began to hit the ground, the rain started to mix in with our emotions. “I should have stopped you from walking out the door” I was in your arms. You caressed my face once again to see the look in my eyes.
“I’m sorry” we huddled under a tree as the rain slowly gave up, held each other tight as if the moment would end; not wanting it to slip away. With one look into ours eyes the moment gave a kiss.
