The night is dark; there is no moon in the sky but the stars shine like embers giving false hope for a light. They look beautiful but there is nothing to make the sky less dark. The sky resembles how I feel. How I've felt for the longest time. I remember being so guarded, I remember what it took to let Johnny in and I know it won't be that easy to let someone else in once I close this door.
Maybe it's okay to be hurt every once in a while if it means you get to have all the other stuff too; its more than how Johnny looks, its more than his face, or his height or how dark his skins is. It's that he makes me laugh without telling a joke, it's that he tries to do more than undress me, it's that he came here today despite my ignoring him this whole week when I was the one that didn't want to have a relationship with.
Maybe there are other reasons behind my decision but he's in the parking lot by the time I make it to him. There are few cars parked here and no street light so it feels like the world is made up of just as two.
"Johnny," I call him when I'm a few feet away. He's close to his car and his lights are on because he already unlocked it.
I know that this is not an epiphany, I do not suddenly have a different view of the situation, I would rather have him than memories of him.
He turns to look at me, something that resembles hope flickers on his face before he controls his features and says "Yes?" it's the fact that he isn't sulking right now that makes me run to him.
There is so much I want to tell him. Like it might be the alcohol talking, that I missed him too, that I want to, I want to prove that I love him just as much as he shows me that he loves me but I don't say all of that instead I say "I'mthere."
I could say so much more but I don't need to for he understands me so well, he takes my face into his hands and then his lips take mine.
