You would think, for me to be here right now, I'd have to be dreaming... cause that's what I thought. Being in this very spot, his hands in mine, wind blowing, made me loose it. I never thought of him this way until now. Until the words that pierce out of his mouth, coming out like warm roses. "I love you," he said.
I didn't know what to make of it. He was my best friend. My longest frined. The friend who never let me down. The friend who would protect me, no matter what the stakes, no matter how high he had to climb. The friend who beat up Kendell Johnson because he took my popsicle in kindergarden. He was all I thought about all through 7th grade. All I can ever really love... "I love you too," I said, barely a whisper, following the wind.
His smile was bright, like the sun. His blue eyes sparkled like the stars and everything above. It felt like a weight, I've had so long left my chest. My heart was finally free. I couldn't see anyone that wasn't him. Anything that he didn't already posess.
His lips came crashing onto mine, in a passionate kiss. I couldn't speak, couldn't react. But I found myself kissing back somehow. It was because my heart was speaking, instead of my head for once in my life. I let my heart go, pouring inself into the kiss. The kiss that I've dreamed about for so long. Everything lit up. Now I know why people close their eyes when they kiss. The light was too bright. The passion too strong. The will too free. I found myself wrapped up in his arms. I never want to leave these arms again. I felt protected, safe. For once in my life... I was free.
