Felicitous Rapture

A girl finds her true happiness.

Pain washes over my body...

I remember everything...

all its is pain...

but...

 

He smiled at me so kindly

and my heart jumped with

joy.

I felt an everlasting mirth

take hold on my soul. All

through the day I smiled

and was warm.

A single smile...

 

I wake up from my weird

dream, looking at the window.

Sunlight flooded my dull

room, brightening everything

in my view.

A chord of hope was struck

within my heart, playing

out a happy melody in

my soul.

 

Although my heart currently

ached with loneliness, I

pushed the feeling aside and

concentrated on the day.

everything and everyone

looked so...so bright.

It was different, but...I

loved it, though. It was

such a nice change of pace

for once...

 

I spoke to him softly while

he nodded and listened intently

to every single word that

departed from my lips.

he suddenly interrupted.

"Are you happy?"

"Why do you ask me that?"

"You just always seem so...sad."

"It's just the way I am," I said,

shrugging.

"Well," he murmured, leaning forward

in his chair, "may be this'll

cheer you up."

He took me by surprise

by pecking me gently on

the lips with a soft kiss.

I gaped at him for a moment

with saucer-eyes, but then

I returned the kiss with

just as much as passion as he

had given in his.

 

A single kiss...

 

I remembered and savored,

grinning like an idiot.

 

I met him at the bus stop,

greeting him with a deep

kiss. He returned it eagerly.

The kids on the bus whistled

and howled, but we ignored

them.

I hugged him, close as we

boarded the bus to school.

All the way, I felt his

eyes on me. I pretended

I didn't notice until he kissed

me on the neck and

embraced me from behind.

 

Once...just this once...I

feel full and warm...fuller

than I've ever been in my entire

life...

 

For once I feel good enough.
