I can't think right now. The clapping and whistles
of the people around me are ringing through my ears.
But then I see you, standing off to the side.
You're looking in my direction and
my face automatically brightens up when I see you.
You smile at me and it reaches all the way
to your eyes.
I can see your eyes twinkle a little bit and then you start
to walk toward me, the way you always do.
You catch my hand in yours and we continue to walk fluidly
along the sidewalk. We walk with other people
but do not pay much attention. We smile and talk
between us about our day. I swing your hand around my waist
so you can hold me there. I then manuever my arm
around your hips and your hip bone bumps my hand
with every step you take.
I turn to press a quick, mid-step kiss to the side of your neck
and then we continue on.
We tease each other the way kids do, poking fun at each other
lightheartedly. It's a sweet kinda thing.
It makes me smile for a moment.

this is very sweet. of course i love the ending
the first line is just right also. "we smile and talk between us about our day" you should make this into 2 separate lines, or thoughts. or put a semicolon between "smile and" -
This is just gorgeous!
I had to visit your page to see how old you were - you write like a much older person, someone who is reflecting back on a very sweet school-day romance.
I love the way you write. You portray such vivid imagery with your words and you tone, like;
and your hip bone bumps my hand
with every step you take.
Well done!
