my huckleberry friend
today was simply amazing. i was daydreaming all day! like NON-stop! it was wonderful.
so i'm standing in the tech room... talking to elinia. (she was at school today! yay!) it's a beautiful day for me-- raining. i love rain! so we're talking about vanessa and how she's crazy for not coming to baccalaureate... what's weird is that the room is absolutely empty. it's only like 2 minutes after school has let out, and this is very odd. then our conversation takes a turn and we talk about guys... and i bring *him* up. and elinia is like, "i was talking to him... and he said he kinda liked you too..." she tells me. crap! "oh, no!" i think. but if this is true, my crazy anti- dating reasoning will be challenged! do i even like him for real? what if it doesn't work out? and i get really scared. what if i'm tempted to love him? the walls around my heart must remain intact.
then *he* walks in.
my heart skips a beat. i, trying not to be obvious, hide my face and grab my backpack, then hurry from the room with little more than a "hello." i walk down the hall and out the doors by the band hall. the rain is absolutely beautiful. i can almost hear 'moon river' playing through these clear, watery sheets of bliss.
"wait!"
the words of death... and of new life. i hear a voice call from the doorway. *his* voice. i continue to hurry toward the parking lot, silent tears beginning to invade my eyeballs, when i give up. i breathe in shakily, and i realize i've got to turn around. very slowly, i turn to look at him. everything stops. he is standing in the doorway. he is amazing. as the rain continues to soak me, he steps forward and walks to me. a faint smile creeps onto his face, and i beam. full-toothed smile, baby. i smile at him in my soaking wet clothes because i know i am beautiful, and i know he thinks i am beautiful, even when nappy and rained- upon. i feel whole.
he looks down and takes my hand, veeeeeery slowly bringing it up to his lips. and... he kisses the back of my hand. i smile and look back into his eyes, and he doesn't let my hand go. his lips were warm and confortable against my clammy skin. he looks back up into my face, and i stop smiling. this is so perfect. he leans in, in what seems like slow- motion film, and his lips touch mine. they're soft, and at first we're just touching... and then i lean in. i never thought i'd be doing this. on the sidewalk of the school... at 4:00 on a monday... in the rain. he kissed me. he kissed me!
he kissed me.
"Moon River, wider than a mile-
I'm crossin' you in style someday,
Old Dream-maker, you Heartbreaker...
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way;
Two drifters, off to see the world-
There's such a lot of world to see...
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend, Moon River
And me."
