Here Mel goes again :see_no_evil:

that one night

My mother said that out of all five of her children, I was the easiest baby. I think what she meant was that I hardly cried, rarely made any fuss. She used to call me mi montaña, her mountain, because I was always calm, never moved, never bothered. And then I saw you. You were just standing by the sea, your hair flowing back. I couldn’t take my eyes of you, and when you noticed me watching, you just smiled and waved. You walked over to me, and you started speaking. I just kept quiet, staring at you, wondering why someone like you would talk to someone like me. And then you asked me if I’d like to get something to eat. I didn’t, no, couldn’t say anything. So you smiled again, and said, “I’ll take that as a yes then.” And after that, I had a better summer then even I could imagine.

And now it’s over. And you’ll leave. And I don’t know how to handle the thought of never seeing you again. The thought of not having your body next to mine. I didn’t know it, but now I do. I’ve fallen for you. Hard. And as I sit there, I feel your hand on my shoulder. I look at you, and you have that same beautiful smile.

“I don’t want you to leave,” I say, staring right into your beautiful eyes.
“Well, lucky for you, I’m staying.”
