I don’t exactly
remember how we became friends, but I do remember there hasn’t been anyone like
him before or after. He was an integral part of all my plans, gossips and secrets.
I didn’t realize when I started liking him. God thus decided to give me a jolt
to make me aware of this feeling. This jolt occurred during one of the movies
that we had gone to watch. It was rainy season. Watching that movie had been
our only option considering the weather and not our first choice. Once seated
in the theatre, we realized it was almost empty for the movie had been running
for quite some time now and it was a noon show. It didn’t bother me much for he
was so used to speaking during a movie that one hardly felt the need to
consider the surrounding. He would comment on each and every scene. Soon the
movie started, with his commentary. In the middle of the movie, suddenly he
went quiet. I was too engrossed in the movie to realize it. I didn’t even
realize when he kept his arm across my shoulders. After a while, when I turned
towards him to see why he was so quiet, I found him staring at me. He suddenly
kissed me. The moment his lips touched mine, my eyes went shut. I was
completely swayed by the moment. When our lips finally parted, I slowly opened
my eyes. For a while our stares were locked onto each other. It was then that I
realized the graveness of the moment. I quickly got up and found my way home. Years
later as a husband when he first kissed me, he said, “A lawful kiss is never
worth a stolen one.”
I ran up the door, shut the stairs,
Said my pj's and
put on my prayers.
I turned off the bed and hopped into the light,
I turned off the bed and hopped into the light,
All because you
kissed me... goodnight!
