Wishing
I'm wishing you strength today.
You think I don't know. I wish I did not. But I do.
I can tell when you look at me. Your eyes darken, your breathing quickens, and even the wind changes. Sometimes you stare a bit too long, and I can feel heat creeping over my skin. And you're the cause.
And sometimes when I touch you… it's different. It's always electric, of course. But sometimes I need to slow down and savor every sigh that crosses those plum lips. Sometimes I need to kiss you senseless and run my hands all over your skin. I need to be slow, and gentle, and soft, even if it confuses you greatly. But I need to. I need to.
All those times you thought I was asleep? I usually wasn't. I could feel the tears coursing over my skin as they fell from you. I could feel the brush of your lips over my skin. I knew.
And I don't mind.
Yes, I'm leaving. No, I don't want to. And it's because of you. I was so resigned to the idea of leaving, and you had to change my mind.
I won't say it. I won't. I know, and hopefully by now you know too.
Smile more. I need to see your smile, and so does the rest of the world. Let yourself live, darling. Live for the life I lost.
It's almost over, Lulu. I'm wishing you strength today.
Fin.
