Infatuation
Have you ever watched a moment pass? Have you ever seen how your feelings towards one person can change in such a short time that it seems almost impossible? It’s not like you simply realize that they’ve gradually changed, no… something just clicks and everything’s different. I’ve seen a moment pass; I’ve watched as time stands still.
And lately, it’s all I can think about.
It was night time, that’s the first thing that always hits me. It was late and there was a chill in the air despite the smothering heat. I remember the smell that was on the summer’s breeze that night; it was sweet and caressing as it brushed our cheeks. I had my back against a tree, our tree, shifting occasionally because of the imprints the rough bark set in to my skin.
He sat between my legs with an acoustic guitar, letting his weight lean back against my chest. I had my arm draped carelessly over his shoulder, holding him to me like he was the most important thing in the world. And in that moment, he started to sing.
I don’t remember the song, I’d be lying if I said I did. All I remember is that for the first time in my life, I didn’t hear the music. It simply never reached my ears. I never heard it, I never saw it… nothing. Nothing reached me as I let my eyes slip shut at the feeling, ah yes the feeling. Because for the first time in my life I could feel the music. And somehow… that seemed like something more.
So much more.
I could feel the bright echoes of the guitar strings run laps up and down my legs in a rhythm unknown to me. I could feel the bass of his voice reach my chest as I tightened my grip around his shoulders. I felt the smile in his voice as he poured his heart out to the empty fields that lay below us.
That was the night I fell in love with him. That was the exact second in which I realized just how deeply I cared. And it was over before I could hold on to the fact that it really had occurred.
I never told him of the gift he gave me that night. I couldn’t. I knew somewhere deep down that no matter how much I wanted to, no matter how many times I put the words in the right order - it would come out wrong. Putting words to something like that makes it lose it’s charm… forces it’s magic to fade.
No, instead I silently thank him every time we meet. Just a soft smile burning in my eyes as he returns the favor in his warm emeralds. He doesn’t always know why I smile but he knows enough never to question it. I know why I smile… I smile because he gave me a moment I’ll never forget.
It was in that moment I fell in love.
It was in that moment I felt his music come alive.
