The humidity was beginning to return to the east coast. I absolutely dread the summers in North Carolina. The hot, musty air is nearly unbearable with the heat. I've always longed to live in the west coast, further away from this weather.
As summer vastly approaches, graduation nears. I am excited and scared to begin my new journey as an adult. I have big dreams and ambitions for myself. My future is unclear. I'm torn in different directions. I don't want to hurt the ones I love with my decision. But I have a once in a lifetime opportunity. I must seize it in any way I can.
I lay my head in his chest. I breath him in. I want to take advantage of every second spent with him. I close my eyes and nearly lose myself in my drowning thoughts.
I can feel his green eyes watching me. It's like second nature being with him. I feel the heartbeat coming through his chest. I use my finger to match the rhythm of his heart. I tap away along his chest. This is bliss to me. I wish I could stay forever in this moment.
"You and me forever. Right bubba?"
I freeze at his question. A question I have answered whole heartedly a thousand times. I kiss his neck as I run my hands through his curly hair. I truly believe we're meant to be. That much I've always been sure of. If you love something let it go. If it's meant to be it'll be back. At least that's what they say, isn't it?
"Forever and always, Bubs."
