| Post subject: | Universal Spotlight (A Reflection) |
You remember the time we had together? Those months we had, all of them perfect, maybe eight, maybe more. There was that time at the bookstore, you slipped, and I just happened to be there, and you, romantically, fell right into my arms. We laughed about that, the blush on your face. Mine, too. I can't remember. How long ago was that now, two years, maybe more? We took every opportunity to see each other, to call. Whatever it was. Five minutes, ten, a weekend. You used to knock on my door, just to say hi, even though you couldn't stay long, just to see me. We would hold onto each other, kiss, laugh, tell a joke or two. You'd apologize for having to leave, but you had no idea what you'd done for me, the smile I beamed for the rest of the night. We'd lay there together after making love saying the neatest things, the longest conversations, and I would think to myself, "This is what love is supposed to be." We always had fun together. We laughed, cried, talked, and giggled. We never argued, not a single time, raised our voices, or got upset with each other. I would think of these ridiculous, poetic phrases. They'd jump into my head, and I recited every one of them to you. You used to smile, laugh, tell me how much you loved them. One time I told you I was Peter Pan waving at you from the moon. You always told me how much you loved that. You always knew what I needed. You used to get dizzy when you'd kiss me, you said, and I'd have to catch you again. It happened all the time. You made me dizzy, too. You'd look at me after making love, smile and say, "Wow." You knew how to inflate a guy's ego, and I tried not to let it get to my head. I'd sit by the window afterwards, having a cigarette, looking out into the street below. You stared at me, smiling the whole time, and I'd look over and say, "Hi." "Hi," you's say, only moving your lips, not making a sound. It was one of my favorite things you'd do. Together is what mattered most. Nothing else existed when you were around. The lights, the universe, the world around us. Nothing. Nothing mattered. I always felt above the earth. 'Otherworldly,' was the word I used all the time with you, describing you, me and what we had. And that's when the poetry came. No matter how sappy it was, you always loved it. You knew how to make me feel loved, wanted, appreciated. Adored. You did it subconsciously, by just being you. It was always just you. All the time, that unconditional love and acceptance. We threw that back and forth, a constant volley. It was beautiful. Natural. We never brought out the worst in each other, never quarreled. We talked about everything, cooked, held onto each other, watched movies, and talked some more. We connected, meshed, raveled and unraveled again, like ribbons. I look back and see the example you were, whether it ever happens again or not. That it was possible to love and be loved liked that, that the experience had been real and not imagined. That I knew there were others out there like you, those perfect glimpses of Heaven. You meant everything in the world to me then. You mean everything in the world to me now. Nothing existed at all, only us. A universal spotlight shining brightly wherever we were. You remember how the world disappeared, and just being together was all that mattered? But it was a tricky situation, and you had to go. I understood. I knew it was inevitable. So did you. We'd talked about it. Still, we had a loving, tearful goodbye on the phone, the best conversations I'd ever had with anyone, even that goodbye. It was amazing we could create that. I will never forget it. I loved you more then. I love you more even now, because of what you gave me. You never had to tell me. I gave it to you. I always knew. You loved me, too. |
