April 26, 2008

Your mom took her luggage to the sidewalk while you and I said our goodbyes.

“Call me, okay? Let me know you got in safe.”

“Okay.” You hugged me.

I pulled away and smiled. “No you won’t,” I said. “You suck at using the phone.”

“But I will.”

“How do I know that?”

“Because when I hugged you, I smelled your hair. And I wouldn’t smell your hair if I didn’t mean what I said, that I’ll call you.” You’re holding my shoulders, looking straight into my eyes. You're wearing that shirt I bought you, the brown one that you love.

“You smelled my hair?” I smile and raise my eyebrows.

“Yeah, like this.” We hug again, and this time, I feel you inhale, and my hair moves away from my neck. We kiss cheeks, and I feel so safe.
