The day we decided to meet was one that would be remembered forever!

He stood by the window,

humming a tune

that was so familiar.

I watched the way his hair 

blew towards me,

A faint whiff of cologne

filled the air.

Twenty years was too long!

And yet,

I could still taste the dew 

on his finger tips,

And the whisky on his lips.

I could still smell the wet mud

on his clothes,

and the fresh dahlias

that he always brought along.

I could still see that immense longing

in his beautiful brown eyes.

and feel his strong arms

enveloping me

as we stood and watched the sunset

ever so often.

And now,

here I was at the airport,

longing to meet him again

twenty years later.

longing to rekindle those 

precious little moments,

we spent,

wild and carefree

a long time ago.

I stared at him,

as he stood by that window,

tears streaming down my cheeks.

And then, I did the wisest thing.

I turned and walked away.
