Hold me close so I can forget for a moment that you are no longer mine.
The last hug was bitter and painful.
It was the day when we both agreed that our time together had run out.
Matheus Ferrero
Today, I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts until I found your name.
I found the courage and sent a text that said,Hey, I hope you are doing well.
I got a text notification at 10:45 a.m.
I arrived at our favorite coffee shop at 7:30 pm that evening.
I wanted to be there early so I could emotionally prepare myself to see you.
There was a mixture of emotions running through my body that I needed to control.
You arrived a minute late.
You explained yourself, saying that you hit some traffic on your way.
I simply smiled and told you it was okay.
There was a peaceful silence surrounding us right after, but inside our bodies, there were waves clashing.
Waves full of emotions trying to escape to the surface.
They were as strong as the rain pouring down outside.
I could feel strong vibrations within my heart, and I wasnt even touching you.
I moved closer to fill in the empty space between us.
Nothing we could have said or done could change the fact that we were not meant to be together.
To that perfect place where the first thing we would see every morning is each others sleepy faces.
We would get up and cook breakfast together on the weekends.
We would both grow older and wiser, and every day we would also grow new gray hairs.
We would be together till death do us part, only until we could reunite again in the afterlife.
I want to be in your arms one more time.
I want to fully enjoy this moment.
Even though I know its over, I am glad you entered my life.
Tomorrow, I will walk out that door.
But tonight, just hold me one more time.
I want to feel your warmth.
I want to feel you.
I want to be close to you.
Yes, I know that we cant change our fate.
But all I care about right now is that youre here next to me.
I am here with you, and in this fragile yet peaceful moment, thats enough for me.
Though your heart is not mine to keep, hold me close so I can hear your heartbeat.
Hold me close so I can feel your touch.
Hold me close so I can hear your souls voice.
Does it still call out my name?
Does it miss me?
Does it ache for me just as mine does?
Just hold me one more time, because when tomorrow comes, we will go our separate ways.
Ill head West and youll head East.
I still dont know how Ill heal my aching heart after I give you one last kiss.
The thought of not being able to stay consumes my soul.
Maybe our paths will cross again one day, but they will never lead us the same way.
They will never take us to the same place.
Hold me close tonight until we see the daylight, andIll have to leave you behind.
When the sun rises, c’mon let me go.
But until tomorrow comes, hey just hold me one last time.
