So Close

a short love story

So Close

The boy, sat next to the girl, both with brown hair, and both with green eyes.  The dim glow of the moon was all that illuminated their faces, the streets below them were empty at this hour. The sky was clear the moon was full, and the stars were shining.

The balcony’s stone bench they sat on was cold, the cool chill made her scoot closer to him. They were friends from childhood, but they had never looked at each other the way they did now. Not a word was spoke, they just looked at each other, he wanted to move, and so did she, their lips grew closer, and closer. Soon their eyes began to close, and then. She looked up at the moon, and so did he.

The moment that could have defined the rest of their life together, was so close one moment, but in the next fraction of a second, it was farther away than ever. She blushed, He smiled. She stood, He sulked. She spoke of the cold night, and then left to her home.  And all he could say was…
“So close”…

You cooked this up pretty good with just the right spices.

How sweet! It's simple, short but so close to us, just like what your story say about! Although it's short, but the whole thing works REALLY well!
A very sweet short story!

Very simple, very sweet and very neat.

I really liked this! I think you nailed the emotion, the characters and their thoughts, and the pacing (a tough trick), but I think you should edit this again for some of you commas and, as Far and Away pointed out, there are a couple of errors regarding spelling or redundancy. Overall, awesome.

Loved it! very well written. I just wanted to point out this
"Not a word was spoke" I think it should say spoken not spoke. I think it makes a little more sense.

The so closes leave us wishing for better endings. I like this short story. Strong description made the story come alive. A excellent story.
