As she looked in my eyes I knew her words would be meaningless. Her glaze was deafening. She spoke while speaking but saying different things. What is someone “supposed to” do? Of course I knew my answer as others know theirs. Her eyes glaze up from the tears she holds back. Its one of those moments that you know you’ll remember forever so you enjoy it the best the first time. Hindsight is 20/20 and I was waiting for my vision to clear, some verdict to be passed on how I would look back on this moment in my life and what I would learn from it. I decided that since I will have this moment only once, I would live it like I was alive. I grabbed her and started my own speech through my eyes. I stopped mid-sentence and kissed her. Kissed her like that moment was the only moment that ever existed in our lives. And like that moment, after it was over, so were we. The rain started to fall as if God was yelled action on the movie we called our lives. I took one last look at her and tanned myself in flashbacks of the moments we shared. As I turn around ignoring the rain that spashes from my face into my eyes, I smirk uncontrollably for fear that a full smile will make me change my mind. I taste a raindrop as it sneaks into the curves of my lips. I savor the moment and think, “So thats what happiness tastes like?”
