I start walking away from the nightly entertainment and tell my parents i will be right back. I walk past the middle lane of beautiful multicoloured flowers and fountain spitting the littlest bit of water. I walk under the larger archway, down the stairs, onto the beach. I can feel the cool breeze upon my face, with the wind swaying my hair side to side. I walk father and farther past the archway, past the steep sand hill, finally i find the perfect place to sit down. I can feel the cool sand between my toes. It is so peaceful here, the sunset is finished setting, and its now dark in the sky. There is no one around me. I close my eyes and think to myself, back at home, i have been so stressed, and worried about saying the wrong thing, and loosing someone I'm close too. I keep worrying about the littlest of things, and think way to much that my mind feels like its going to explode. I think to myself, why am i getting all worked up over the littlest of problems? I need to relax and..
When i was just figuring out things, a boy around my age sits beside me,
he says," do you come here too to just try and stop worrying over problems?"
"Yes" i say softly.
He grabs my hand and says i would never expect you to be here. You seem so perfect, and not have to worry about anything.
I don't let go, i grab tighter and say," I'm far from perfect, i come here every night, whether I'm calm or stressed, it makes me more relaxed, and more aware that life wont last forever, so i have to live everyday like its my last."
"That was really deep, but true at the same time. My names Blaze if you didn't know."
"Im sierra."
After around an hour of talking to him, he looks at me in the eyes and says
"If i were to kiss you right now, would that be living to the fullest?"
I smile and say," yes"
He puts his left hand on my cheek, and kisses me so softly.
" you just met me, why would you kiss me?"
"Because a girl like you don't come around very often, so of course i wanted to live to the fullest and kiss the girl of my dreams."
I just smiled so big with red arising upon my cheeks.
Now that whole night, he didn't talk much, but he listened so carefully.
We walk back to our separate rooms, i climbed into my bed, and tried to sleep, but was unable to because i just spent the most amazing hour of my life with this boy.
The next day, i started to look for him, but found out from the front desk that he had died in his sleep, due to his leukaemia.
I dropped to my knees, and cried. Why would God do this?
I run to the beach, and notice there is a note addressed to me.
I quickly opened it with tears rushing down my cheeks.
It read, dear Sierra, i know i am going to die tonight, i have seen you around, and knew you were the one to wanted to meet and kiss on the last night of my life. Just remember this in your heart, i will be up in heaven here with you, if you need someone to just listen to you, i will be here. Please do not cry, i am still here with you. One more thing, remember what you told me yesterday? About living to the fullest with no fear, i want you to live like that. Sincerely, Blaze
What a perfect night,
With that perfect boy,
He taught me very little, but it sure did make an impact on the way i look at life.
