He halted but didn't turn. So I ran up to him and stood in front of him.
His eyes for some reason were glossy too. Why? He shouldn't have been affected. I don't mean anything to him.
"Don't I get a farewell gift?" I asked.
He kept looking at me in confusion.
"I'm sorry" I said before standing up on my toe to place my lips softly against his. He froze but didn't push me away.
I closed my eyes and savoured the feel of it. My first kiss, it had to be him. I will have no one else have it. It was his.
"I love you" I whispered one final time before sprinting away towards the forest. My entire being was yelling at me to look back, to run back to him but I kept moving ahead.
That was the last time I saw him that day, that month, that year and it will be years before i see him again........Houston Wood, my first love.
