It wasn’t one of those best moments. You weren’t wearing
your smile. You were standing there. Just standing there. You looked me in the
eye. I was torn seeing pictures in them. Pictures I would never wanna capture.
Still, you stayed standing there with no movement at all.
You smiled. A smile I never saw before. But you remained
standing there. I wished to cross that gap between us. I wish I could.
Music embraced the whole place. There were laughter, there
were cheers. There were chants, people talking in chorus. I smiled, my eyes
glued on you, as if we were the only individuals that matter. It wasn’t one of
those best moments.
The bell rang, you walked. And as you did, the laughter and
the cheers shattered. I was looking at you. You were looking at me, too. You
were wearing that white dress you’ve long wanted to wear. On your hands were the
flowers you arranged yourself. Your hair, tied up. Your make up, light. Everything
was just on its right place, according to how you planned it, according to what
you wanted.
You stepped. Looked around, saw familiar faces, smiled. Then
you looked back to me. Smiled. Sighed. You took another step, bringing you
closer to where I stand now. Your eyes never left mine. But your smile…
Everything went down on me now. My eyes, still, glued on
you. Wasn’t hearing anything. Everything seemed inaudible. Everything, blurred.
It was only you I was seeing. Then you uttered I do. Everything came back. I lost you.
It wasn’t one of those best moments. You weren’t wearing
your smile. You were standing there. Then you walked. Looked me in the eye. Your
eyes not leaving mine. I was torn seeing pictures in them come to life. You smiled.
It was a goodbye not said. A conclusion implied. But it was
the hardest of all goodbyes. You just walked, then you looked, you smiled.
