We all looked beautiful.After our long delay to the mountain tops of one of the most beautiful restaurants my eyes have ever seen.Much ranting and overwhelmed emotions: Tonight was our last night on this gorgeous island. We ordered lobster, fish and some beers. It had been our second time there that week but I had already felt like a regular. The cigarettes began sparking one by one, smoke filled the air, laughter began sinking through our entire table. We reminisced on our entire week. The amazing people we have met, the drunken nights, the silly jokes we had come up with. Slowly I found my hand find your leg underneath the ceramic, white table. You turned to look at me and smiled and you whispered in my ear "Could I kiss you?" My smile said it all.I wanted this moment to last forever. Safe between those I knew and excited between those I came to care for. I pushed the thought very far from my mind,body,and soul; I had less than 24 hours here.With you,with my roots, my ancestor's.
Later that night, you took my hands as we walked away from the music and conversations. Nothing mattered anymore. Just you and me against the world. And I reached up and kissed you. Kissed you like my sanity depended on it. You grabbed my waist and embraced my entire essence. "Promise me something: promise me that no matter what you do in life, you'll be great at it. Promise me you'll never believe a dream is too small or too silly. Promise me you'll remain beautiful". I looked deep into his brown Spanish eyes "I swear".
I'll never let you go. Not the memory nor the promises.
not the nights of lessons nor the ways I begun coming into my own.
i miss u.
