Everywhere

Geceden Sonra

DEMIR POV

Her arm lifted to the sky, her finger pointing at the infinite number of stars. She was trying to show me a constellation, but my eyes couldn't move from her; there was no star that could outshine the beauty she carried, there was no point on staring at the sky above when I could have her with me...when I could stare only at her.

She began her story telling and her silky voice brought goosebumps to my skin, I was captivated by her, I was captivated by the story she was telling. The emotions in her were so vivid, that even if she wasn't looking at me, I could hear in her voice the weight that the tale carried... It made me curious, and it made me emotional... her story spoke of loss, and how much pain it brought, and as I was listening to it, I felt my heart living through it.

I recognized the unknown, how it could give and how could it take... I recognized the suffering it left behind. I knew the shape of the sea the girl cried as I had cried my own... and when the girl opened her eyes, my heart skipped a beat, the thrill of it stealing my breath away... I had cried a sea myself but had never stopped to watch it, I had never opened my eyes to look for the beauty behind the tears I shed...

Selin's story was like the light at the end of a tunnel, while mine had been the darkness of a tunnel... and I wondered If were to open my eyes, like the girl did, would I find beauty waiting for me too? The intensity of what was being spoken was shaking my insides, like an earthquake to my walls...

She said then, that she was the girl of the story, and my world acquired a new set of colors, she spoke her truths and my soul recognized her, she told me life was worth living, and in the shortness of the moment... I believed her.

It was like and explosion, I was finally free from all boundaries, from all walls, the feelings so intense there weren't words to name them, I knew her and I loved her...

And then she touched me... her palm was like candle, my skin was like gasoline, one touch and that's all it took.

I took her lips on mine... and my world stopped.

She was like lightness, like magic, if there was a heaven out there, it was surely made out from the sweetness of her lips. I couldn't get enough of her, my tongue escaped my mouth and gently tasted the softness of her bottom lip... I didn't know one could burn so much, I didn't know one could fly so high... but then she let me in... and I lost track of all senses, of all reality... it was only her and me and the perfection of our togetherness.

I tasted the inside of her mouth, my tongue stroking hers lightly, slowly... we were dancing under the same song, matching every stroke, every caressed... as if our mouths had been made for the other one's, as if I was made only for kissing her.

I kissed her slowly and tenderly, I wanted to memorize her, to learn her by heart... I would have kissed her forever... but eventually I had to let her breath.... My forehead fell on hers while my nose caressed her skin, and when my name escaped her lips in a low whimper, my lips didn't waste anymore time before finding hers again.

She was home, she was heaven she was everything I knew and everything I wanted. I had tasted her, and now I no longer knew what life would be if she was not with me.

...

We kissed for an infinite of time... or maybe for mere seconds of life, there was no sense of time to measure it... and when my phone rang, and we pulled apart, I could barely remember where I was, or who I was... I only knew I started and ended at the corners of her mouth.

It took me a while to notice my surroundings, to register the extinguishing fire beside us... the insistent ringing of my phone. I leaned my forehead in hers and sighed. I didn't want to let her go; I didn't want to let go of this moment.
