"Alfie goes off to Switzerland ):" The alarm on my phone goes off at 5:30 in the morning.
Alfie's flight goes off at 7 a.m. It was too early for me to function. But whatever.
Got myself ready and went to his house.
He was wearing a black t-shirt & a jacket that I bought him for his birthday. My heart stops and I went for a hug.
"Aww, you still keep this," I said
"Yes, and always." he replied in the sweetest voice.
"Come on babe, let's go."
"No, I don't want to let go,"
He carried me to his truck like he always did in the past years. I turned on the radio and our song was play.
"Let's make it happen, la la la la." he sang along
"We made it happened babe. I love you," I said to him while giggling.
In 30 minutes, we reached the airport.
My heart starts beating wildly as soon as we stepped out the truck.
We walked through the terminal doors together hand in hand
His flight was at 7 a.m and it's almost 6:45 a.m
I coudn't bare how I was going to feel saying goodbye to him.
I coudn't believe this. This boy who I'm have been in love with for 4 years is leaving. To another country. Where I am not there with him. Tears started flowing down my face when all the memories that we shared flowed through my mind.
"Don't cry," he whispered while wiping my tears.
"You're not going to be here, with me for 4 years. How do you expect me not to be sad?" I said to him while sobbing.
"Hey, don't be like that. It's not like i'm leaving forever."
"But it feels like it,"
"We will meet again, Beautiful."
"What if we don't?"
"We will. I don't care if I have to walk a thousand miles. Distance never seperates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there. But whenever I start feeling sad, because I miss you, I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone special to miss. The moments we had together will be with me everyday. I love you, Felisha Alexandria Haley."
At this point I was bawling.
He looked up and I let out a small sigh as I was wrapped in his warm embrace. We were both crying at this point and shaking.
How was it possible to leave someone so perfect?
Instead of asking him, I leaned in for a heartfelt kiss. We lingered there for a moment as our noses brushed and lips hung onto each other. He's my everything.
Our kiss was cut short by the bell and intercom.
Flight 182 to Switzerland leaving in 15 minutes. Passengers boarding now.
I leaned my forehead against his and breathed in slowly. It brought me back to the night I gave him my everything and breathed in slowly as he whispered, "I will always love you,"
He hugged me tightly and I took in everything about him. His scent and his soft skin. His cheeks brushing against mine and the rise and fall of his chest. I felt his heartbeat which gave me a form of hope. He was not gone. He is going to be right beside me all the time.
Last call for Flight 182
I pulled back and looked into his eyes.
Giving him a small peck on the lips, I whispered I love you
"I love you too, forever and always."
As I let go of his hands and started to walk away, I said three words back to him.
"Forever and always."
For the rest of the days, I tried to make myself occupied. But everything I did, everything I tried to do, whevever I would pause.
I would always think of Alfie.
