Temporary Bliss

On the bench, the only thing that was connecting both of them was the touch of their shoulders. Even though it was just a small contact, it felt comfortable. The connection she felt in that moment was all she could ask for. They have been going out for quite a while now, but nobody knows. It was to prevent rumors and awkward moments from happening. Before they go separate ways, before they pretend that this moment doesn’t exist at all, they cherished this precious instant. She looked at him over her shoulder and saw the tiny red dot that decorated his neck, knowing three more hiding under his shirt and giggled. It was their little secret. She reminisced to how it all happened. His kiss, his touch, and the way he moves. Then her dream was interrupted by someone calling her name. She panicked and arranged herself hastily. It was just a friend from school, not someone that both of them know. They exchanged some greetings and hugs then he walked away. He was staring at her sternly yet trying to hold in his laughter. Then he burst out laughing commenting about how she panicked. She attempted to pinch and tickle him but to no avail. Then the time came for them to part. To change this memory into a nonexistent one. Even unwilling, at least they had learned to cherish this temporary bliss.

Sea of Strangers

In a sea of strangers,

You’ve longed to know me.

Your life spent sailing

To my shores

The arms that yearn

To someday hold me,

Will ache beneath

The heavy oars.

Please take your time

And take it slowly;

As all you do

Will run its course.

And nothing else

Can take what only-

Was only meant

As solely yours.
