Goodbye, My Almost Lover

embrace

The two stood facing each other, one boy and one girl. Slowly they each wrapped one arm around the others waist and looked at each other with uncertainty. Their toes inched closer, closing the gap between their hips. Then the other arm, even slower found it’s way around the other side until they were hip to hip. He stood a whole head taller than her frame so instead of looking at each other, she rested her head on his chest. His arms moved all the way around her back in a slight embrace.

Ever so slowly, with only the wind blowing between the trees for music, his feet started moving from side to side. Up, down…up, down…up and down. She joined, with an even slighter step. Her grasp on him became tighter and then quietly he whispered, “Do you feel us?” And she did.
