The kiss brought back so many feelings and emotions that once laid buried from long ago. A heat.. a fire, long since turned to ash, but reignited in the way his lips crashed unto hers, and the way he held onto her to deliver that final blow.
Goodbye..
Parting had never been such sweet sorrow, but there she was, standing in the rain, watching him move to leave her. She didn't stop him, merely stared at him with a numbness which could not be mistaken with the cool stinging of the rain. No.. this was something deeper stirring, memories becoming unlocked- and like the slow cranking of a music box, she felt something being turned within. The song that wanted to burst out, she held in reserve, her eyes flashing to his questionably, asking more than her lips ever could.
And also, speaking her curiosity and uncertainties on this goodbye.
Though she did not reach for him when she could, she merely stared into his face and held a breath-
and waited for it to be his time to make his leave.
