Unforgettable.
The night was still young and it felt pretty normal. There was nothing irregular; nothing going on that seemed unusual; not a suspicious move from people around. Everything was plainly the same; it was only a night in my life.
And then I thought, “And this, too, shall pass”, continually convincing myself that it would end just as how my other nights did; repeatedly persuading my mind to believe that it could never occur to me… that it was bluntly impossible.
Yet, it did. It happened. And it was the most memorable night of my life… it was my night with you. For a few hours, everything went on.
Darkness was yet to cover the then young evening when I found myself with you. We were lying side by side with each other. That moment was a treasure, a gem, that even now, I still can feel your mild caress appeasing my worries, your warm embrace calming my every fear, and your tender touch soothing the uneasiness in me. It was so special that my memory kept playing it in my mind constantly. Though it happened more than a year ago, it seemed as if it was only yesterday… just last night; still fresh like the cool drops of early morning dew on the grass, clear like the placid blue waters of the deep seas, and sweet like the shimmering, sparkling glow of the heavens on that incredibly wonderful evening. I held your hands, brushed your hair, and stroked your face… I felt love.
It was for that brief moment that I fell in love. It was an emotional madness… a feeling so strong that my heart surged with endless happiness. The feeling was overwhelming. It was all over me.
Since then, I’ve always asked myself why it happened between the two of us… justifying, validating, and reasoning; finding an answer for it all – hoping that someday I’d be able to comprehend this feeling for you… that I’d be able to understand what happened to us.
On the other hand, I have been wondering if you felt the same feeling for me too. I’ve been trying to ask you, but you seemed reluctant and hesitant… perhaps, you just don’t. Well, fine… it’s okay though. I still have my heart ready to love and to care for you nonetheless. I’ve never felt this strong emotional urge before, and so, I won’t let it pass…
Yes, it started off only as a common, regular, and usual night. Sadly, it did not end up. And I think it never will… for the memories of that evening shall forever be with me… memories I’ll always treasure and cherish for all time.
I will love. I will love. That’s how unforgettable that night was.
And I tell you, I shall never forget…
Unforgettable.
