The Night We Said Goodbye #VocalNPM

Have you ever looked into a set of eyes, so light, and wondered how they became the ones that shine when you're reflection gets caught in them?

Or looked at a single left hand, so big, and wondered how in the world it could fit so neatly with your right, as small and tiny as it is?

Or felt a wide pair of lips brushing against that little pink mouth of yours and thought you would never feel the same about a moment or person ever again?

Or pressed yourself so tightly into the cave of another's body that your cold ears smash together into one?

And you press even harder, trying your darnedest to catch anything that may pour out, since his mouth seems to be failing him and you can feel the empty silence of thoughts going unshared?

Have you ever watched shoulders turn away from yours only to suddenly turn back, with a limp fist that is somehow falling upwards into the air?

Then watch as they turn again, and your throat swallows up the words that are so full in your head but can't seem to find place on your tongue, and you're stuck, standing there, thinking "This may be the last time I see him"?
