Our Goodbye...

We said goodbye so quickly.

As if we were going to see each other tomorrow.

We did our normal goodbye hugging and kissing.

Usually when people are not going to see each other for a while, their kisses and hugs are longer and more drawn out like a scene from your favorite Hollywood romance story.

Yet, we said our goodbye’s quick.

As if we were going to see each other tomorrow.

We even joked and laughed with one another, not concerned with the distance that would soon come.

None of us looked like were planned to shed any tears.

We only shared smiles with one another in our last moments together.

Actually, for a moment, I forgot that I would not see him for a while.

The reality did not hit me as we stood by the door, kissing and hugging each other goodbye.

We just held a gaze, looked in each other’s eyes, giving each other an Eskimo kiss as we giggled and smiled.

It was as if we knew the goodbye was not going to be forever.

We knew that the separation from one another was only temporary.

Perhaps we knew in our hearts that a long, drawn out goodbye would only hurt worse.

It would cause our hearts to bleed and our souls to slightly drain.

So we kept our goodbye sweet, light, playful, and almost nonchalant.

I knew that I would soon lie in his sexy arms, kiss his soft lips, and caress his beautiful brown skin.

It’s only a matter of time before I will be able to look into his piercing brown eyes that read my soul so accurately.

However, the moment I got into my car, I felt a slight tinge of pain followed by tears forming in my eyes.

We said goodbye so quickly, so peacefully.

As if we were going to see each other tomorrow.

But when I pulled out of the driveway, I knew our quick goodbye would not cause me to miss him any less.
