For The Love Of The Universe

The touch. You told me how amazing this all was. I agreed. I'd never felt so sure of something- a surety that I knew would hold strong and get even stronger along the way.

You made sure that each second was memorable. Holding me so well, so much in a way I'd never been attentive to. We lay in that grass for an hour on the last day and forgot for a while that we only had a short amount of time left. You reacted to the grass and the sun burnt only one of my arms and we left in a daze to drink more coffee; and more of one another in...and the city.

The tension I felt just before I let your hand go was paramount to the euphoria of the last 50 or so hours. It was agreed this would be harder each time, but closer to the last time we would have to do it.

I saved something within myself that day, and I don't know when I will keep it to, but I have never been so sure of knowing I will have a long time to come to treasure it.
