In Between The Lines

III. What it's like to kiss you?

III.

What it is like to kiss you?

Have you ever wondered about that?

It might sound cliché but to me, your kisses feel like spring. The feeling you get after those long months of suffering from the cold a gentle touch of sunlight touches your skin for the first time. You make me feel like that, you lift my burdens away with your lips.

You make everything brighter.

Can I ask you something?

Do you remember those seconds you'll stop just right before you kiss me? Those seconds that our eyes look back and forth to anticipate what is about to happen even though we already know.

Those seconds are like an eternity to me, but you know what's ironic? I want it to be over but at the same time, I want it to last forever.

Crazy isn't it?

How could I not wish for it to last forever? Those gazes make my heart flutter and my lips tremble. Do you know how that feels like? I hope you do. I hope you understand the feeling I'm desperately trying to explain even though no word can.

But even though I love those seconds I was glad that it ended. I couldn't imagine the agonizing feeling that I'll have to endure if it didn't.

Because the moment it ended, I could finally feel your lips against mine.

That sheer feeling of your lips touching mine, I don't know if I should compare it to velvet or silk... No, it's not, because your lips feel entirely different, it's something one of a kind, entirely and absolutely extraordinary.

Something that can make me speechless.

Did you ever notice how every time we kiss I will hold on to you?

Did you notice me touching your face?

Did you ever notice me holding on to the back of your neck?

Did you notice my hands rest on your shoulder?

Did you?

Do you know why I do that?

It's because if I didn't I feel like I would slip away, that I will disappear, 'cause every time we kiss everything around me is a blur, everything is gone. That the only thing that matters... that the only thing that exists is you and I. And I don't know why but it feels right.

You make everything right.

You make my world complete.

Can I make a request?

The next time we meet, kiss me.

Kiss me until my lips are numb.

Make everything absolutely and indubitably perfect.
