I sat near you, looking into you with awe. The gravel sinking into my slightly exposed thighs did not inconvenience me.
I wore the orange dress you gave me. The cotton failed to bury the edges of my padded bra.
I did not take the time to observe how you watched me, but instead, I was fascinated with how much of a slut I looked like.
You didn't mind.
I closely examined the bubbles of sunlight hitting your forehead and exploding, spilling color that brightened up your eyes. Reminding me of a less happier time.
I wanted to break down and cry, but my tear ducts did not cooperate.
You were beautiful.
You reached out your hand, and like a toddler, I grabbed a hold of it.
Your fingers outlined the side of my face, and slid down to my chin, elevating it you kissed me, sincerely and passionately.
And with a snap, you disappeared.
Growing up came with such forcefulness and untimeliness.
Patiently, I wish for another divine moment to roll around and sweep me of my feet.
I'm not bruised nor scarred that my perfection has yet to arrive,
but simply hurt.
I love you with all my heart and am still awaiting my fairy-tale ending with you.

I liked this. It seemed surreal but in real life the first kiss does seem like a dream. I love the description of the sunlight. Thanks for sharing!

This was good. Sad but still good. Kind of like a dream because of the lines:
And with a snap, you disappeared.
