Kissing Lost Love Goodbye

This is just a short love story that I wrote in less than a day. It won't take more than 15 minutes to read and I actually enjoyed writing this because it has some depth to it.
-------------------------------
I heard the footsteps fade away as I sat there curled up in a tight ball with my knees under my chin and the tears welling up in my eyes.

The first tear fell and then another, before it became a waterfall of heartbroken tears.

He was gone.

The guy I had once thought was the love of my life had slipped out of my grasps and had left me there after he had shattered my heart into a million pieces. That gut wrenching feeling in your stomach as you feel the pain of losing someone you love. But the worst pain of all is watching them walk away.

It's at that moment when you see them for the way they truly are.

The way their breathe rasps when they are nervous. How their shirt it slightly crooked when they first stand up. The look in their eyes as you look in them when they are cold and dark. Their once soft, luscious lips that you had so desperately wanted to touch with your own, cold and pressed in a thin, firm line.

It is at this moment when all you want is for then to turn around and wrap their arms around you. Kiss you on the forehead and tell you that they love you. Wipe away your tears and lift your chin up so that he can look you in the eyes.
