Do you know what a goodbye kiss feelings like? Wait, let me rephrase this. Do you know what a goodbye forever kiss feels like? When you’re tragically falling for him and that asshole universe decided differently? I hope you don’t.
Like every ephemeral thing, it’s beautifully destructive. The bittersweet taste of what will never come. It is actually probably the purest kiss you can give and get though. Knowing it is the last one makes you want to put every word you’ll never get to say, every touch, every look, every smile, every laugh, every morning and every night you’ll never get to spend together in it. He will never look as beautiful as he did on that last morning before he left for work. Then there’s the last look. He came back to kiss you one last time and as he left you saw that look and that smile, as he kept talking cause he never ever fucking stops. Telling you to be careful and not die. And you told him you’d do your best. « See you ». I won’t see you though. This last look is so incredibly painful but at the same time, you don’t believe it, you can’t believe it and it lasts for a second. It feels so normal, you’ve done this a dozen times before, he leaves for work, you say bye and go back to sleep for a bit and see him later that day or the next.
Then you hear him walking down the stairs, you hear the door, you try to look at the window but you don’t see him cause he’s going the other way and you damn well know it. And you realize. That was the last time you saw him. He’s going to come home from work tonight and you’ll be gone. You won’t take the road up to his house again, you won’t rush up those stairs, weirdly knock on that door before opening it to see him look up and smile.
Letting the tears stream down your face feels kind of soothing, don’t you think?
