Dear no one,

That day, near my home,

when I was outside and you ran towards me,

held my face close to yours,

I noticed you were observing

my facial features but

I was observing your teary eyes.

When I asked the reason for

why you were crying you shushed me

by placing your finger on my lips.

I was gazing deeply into your eyes to

find the truth but you said

you just ran into a pile of dusty stuff

and then your eyes got "watery."

We both became silent,

and you started leaning in while

closing the gap between us,

I slowly closed my eyes subconsciously 

while feeling the heat-trapping us

but your phone rang.

It was your dad,

"Okay, yeah, I'll be there in a few minutes, bye"

You looked at me and

hugged me tight before

handing me this letter.

You broke the hug and

kissed me on my cheek.

You took me by shock for a second and

then you made us join our foreheads and

you held me by my waist with a hand

while the other was locked with mine.

Warmth embraced us

while we were embracing each other.

"I.. want to t-tell you something, I-I.."

you stuttered while I gave a nod for you to continue

and you took a deep breath to try again,

"I.. I- I lo-"

and your phone rang again.

I had sensed what was coming

but I thought it was better to wait.

It was your dad again but

this time you declined the call and

locked your eyes with mine,

you gave my hands a tight squeeze,

wore a sad smile and said

"It's getting late, I have to go now"

You watched me entering my house but

I turned back to take another look at you,

you smiled at me

and I smiled back.

"Bye, goodnight"

"Goodbye"

was that you all said and ran away.

Something was off, I knew it,

after reading that letter

I came to know that,

that was the last day

we saw each other.
