Midori and i broke apart from our hug.
her eyes glistened with tears.
“i’ll message you.”
i nodded.
“i’ll call you.”
she tugged on the drawstrings of my hood.
“i’ll skype you.”
we stared at each other
trying to put every feature
every freckle
every edge
to memory.
trying to remember the way she looked at me
with her sea-green viridian eyes
washing over me.
we stared
hardly blinking
drinking in each other’s face.
then Midori leaned in
and kissed me.
i knew it was our last
our last moment alone
our last moment to be ourselves
with no prying parents’ eyes.
we tried to make the contact last as long as we could
but time flew by all too fast.
goodbye.
this is goodbye.
Midori.
“Midori,”
i really love you
“i really love you.”
i love you too, she says
“i love you too.”
don’t forget me
“don’t forget me.”
i’ll always remember you, she says
“i’ll always remember you.”
we parted.
our legs moved forward
and we walked towards her house.
