I know it’s over

Sitting atop the tall, red soiled cliff I can feel her warm breath on the back of my neck. I squeeze her hand tighter, but continue looking out over the perfect ocean - preferring to remain silent. In one second I deny it all, refusing to accept that she must leave me… the next I ache for the days and weeks we’ll spend apart. She’s made a special effort for me today, and I know it’s her way of softening the blow. She has tried her best to give me a beautiful memory of our last day together. I know she has to go… but I’m not ready. I never am.

This girl, with eyes the colour of the sea, and hair that floats on the warm breeze like a silver cloud, leaves me tonight. It’s the longest time before I’ll see her again, and it’s all I can do to savour everything about her.

One more sunset. One more warm starry night. One last lingering kiss.

Goodbye Summer…
