The Last Kiss

CGW

Anxiously I await your arrival
I study you as you speak
The words sinking into me
Soaked in the salty tears I shed when I'm alone.
You cast a gaze in my direction
I turn as if in disbelief
repenting all that you have said.
The shadows Cast on your handsome face make it resemble that of a Greek God.
Your metallic Eyes pierce into the depths of my mind Making it impossible to keep my attention elsewhere.
And then your majestic form is beside me,
towering over me.
You raise my head with your strong hands,
I am helpless as a child in awe of a hero.
The mechanics in our movements have been erased.
Our eyes lock, and I tremble from your touch.
I can hear your breath, and I can see the passion in your eyes.
I freeze as if in fear
And close my eyes as you lean down to me, your lips gently brush mine, even if only for a second.
I am tingleing, are you?
You've kissed me many a time before,
But never like this.....the stare....the look...the glance.
But I guess you saved the best for last.
