We were so young. Thriving from each others ecstasy, out of our own skin. It was as if the entire world could collapse before us, and it wouldn't matter as long as we were in each other's arms.
It was the way you looked ever so deeply into my brown eyes and told me those three promising words. I had never felt so safe, never in my life.
It was the way our bodies melted together into one vessel when we lay together. As of god himself separated us at one time, just so we could meet one another again.
It was the way our lips first consumed each other, the taste, the spirit, all in the same instant. Tingles shot throughout my entire body and exited through my fingertips, only to transition into yours. I felt as if your heavy breath could keep me alive forever.
It was the way our eyes filled with tears when we had to part, I knew I couldn't let go of that moment and the longing I felt in my lungs, not for air, but for you.
It's the way I remember your face the last time we saw each other. Enraged and bitter, nearly hating my entire existence. So much hurtful words darted at one another. So many expectations and promises broken.
It's the way I will never forget what safeness felt like, and how I can now feel safe in your absence.
