I remember the very first time that we kissed.
You were on my front porch, I was in my door way.
It was winter of 04'.
"I love you" was the first thing you ever said to me.
I could say it to your face now, and then I could kiss you, it's not just over the phone anymore.
The look in your eyes was indescribable, and that beautiful smile you wore ear to ear, made me realize that I didn't know it was possible to even be that happy...
I'll never forget that moment, no matter how old and decrepit my mind becomes.
I remember it like it was yesterday, and when I close my eyes, it's like I can still smell your perfume...
I also remember the day that you said goodbye,
It was fall 08'.
We were standing in my backroom, arms in a mess around each other.
As hard as I fought, the tears won out, and I couldn't help but cry.
You reached up to wipe my tears away, and I smiled...
But honestly, it felt like my heart was being ripped out through my throat.
And with that, you grabbed your keys and headed out the back door.
I caught up just as you were opening the door, and you turned with tears clouding your eyes and simply said...
"Baby, I have to go..."
"Stay strong for me, please? This isn't goodbye, we'll be together again, I promise..."
The words came out slowly, in between the waves of tears.
You stood on your tip-toes to look right into my eyes...
"...I love you so much, I'm so sorry, But I-I-I-I have to go now."
"I-I-I love you too, babydoll.."
I've got my arms wrapped around you, and you've got yours around me,
An embrace that I never want to end.
You squeezed me tight, one last time, then you pulled away.
With my eyes soaked and shut tight, we kiss one last time, with the taste of tears embedded on both of our lips....
I never want this to end.
As we broke the kiss that I wanted to last forever, you slid into the drivers seat and started the car.
"I can't stay any longer, I have to go baby..."
For the most part, I fought the tears and won, but a few slipped out to run down my cheek...
"Please don't cry," you said to me.
I watched you put the car in reverse, so I knew it was time...
So I leaned in to kiss you one more time,
You had your window rolled down, so I pushed your door shut for you...
And as soon as the door slammed shut, you started to back up.
"I LOVE YOU!!"
But you were already out of the drive way.
As you backed out, it felt like you ripped my heart out and drug it down the road behind you.
September 7th, 2008 -- one of the worst days of my life.
But you know what?
I'll always love you, you'll always hold a special place in my heart.
Whether it's 2014 or 2113,
My love will always be there.
I miss you.
But more importantly -
I love you, always and forever, +3D.
