Hi I thought I would share this story with you.
Um.
Okay, well.
We were running. And it was dark. Like late. And I could only see the back of her dress kicking up in the wind and my god she was beautiful.
It was late. I was cold but she wasn’t. She never was. She was always warm. She just radiated like that. We ran all the way to the bay. I wanted to keep running, go to the water, feel the rocks, pick up crabs, but she wanted to stop, so I did.
We stopped and I looked at her and she took my hand and I gasped because she felt like stars exploding a billion miles away. She laughed and so did I and we heard waves slink away into the sea.
Her laugh sounded like wind chimes and sunshiney mornings.
She pulled me close. “Hey, you’re cold.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Uh huh.” She pulled me closer.
I wanted to stay like that. Stand there til the sun came up. Maybe she did too.
I wanted to sit there and tell her about why I like crabs and that sometimes the coldest mornings at the bay are the coolest and that she was just so unbelievably funny and how much I wanted to kiss her and that I wished we could just stay.
I wanted her to stay.
She tugged on my hand and I looked up at her. Her smile faltered. She knew it already.
“I know,” I said.
“I know you know. I’m sorry,” she said.
“Don’t be. I love you.”
“Don’t.”
“Okay.”
She sat down with tears in her eyes and kissed my hand. She loved me too, I knew it. She didn’t want to leave either, I knew it. She wanted to stay. Here. With me.
“Don’t go.” I said.
“Don’t.”
“Okay.”
I wish she was still here. I wish she’d tell me about what the sky is like over there. And why she doesn’t like crabs. And if she knows that her laugh sounds like wind chimes.
Maybe she’s still wearing that dress. I hope she is.

I don't know what that was about really. But I feel like it's something that happened. Or could have happened. Who knows.
Hasta la próxima,
Much love xoxo
