Moment

It was one of those moments that just felt right. It felt perfect. It made me feel like nothing could go wrong in the world, and I was exactly where I should be. Everything was beautiful about that moment, and I wished it could last forever.

It was one of those cloudless days. The sky was that light blue that seemed like the clouds were mixed in with it to produce a lighter shade. The sun was high, but its intense heat was deflected by the cold front and the wind. It was a nice, breezy day, and when you hid in the shade, it was the perfect temperature for jeans and a t-shirt. It was perfect weather.

I liked just sitting there, watching the wind disturb the grass, blowing it back and forth to create a green sea where the light sometimes caught and reflected off. I liked the way the wind brushed over my skin and tickled me with my hair. It was so light and gentle, and it was comfortable. I liked the sound of the leaves of the giant tree pushing into each other, making that “shh” sound.

“Don't talk. Just sit here and enjoy,” it said. I listened.

It was very calming to just sit in the shade, between his legs, leaning against his chest. He rested his chin on my head, humming a light tune, and I could feel the vibrations on his throat. His arms were wrapped around me, telling me not to ever leave. I could almost feel the smile on his face, like he felt the same as I did. Honestly, I don't think anyone could feel the way I did.

That one moment, told me everything I needed to know. I loved him and he made everything better. He is the only person I could sit with for hours, not saying a word, and not needing to. I could just listen to him breath, and be happy just to know he was there. He would always be there if I needed him, and I would always be there for him. I never wanted anyone else so much. I could just tell from that moment, and all those that would come, that he was who I was meant to be with.

That was the perfect feeling. My heart felt warm, and it was being tugged at, as if someone was stitching it back together. “Don't worry. All that has ever happened to you doesn't matter. All that matters is now,” they'd say. It was true. Nothing in the world mattered except for that single moment that I'd hold onto forever. I never wanted to be anywhere else. Those few minutes, hours, or whatever, were the most beautiful in the world. It was divine.
