one starless night
July 5, 2006I remember a question my friend Armie asked me before.
What my most romantic moment was.
Hers was her first kiss. This was mine:
It was one starless night ages ago . . .
We we’re at some birthday party. Bong wanted to walk me home. Literally walk coz our house was just a few blocks away. We started to walk and it started to drizzle. I brought out my umbrella. He held it for me and placed his other arm around my back. We didn’t talk. There was no need for words. “Let the heart speak”, I heard him mutter. Suddenly all the lights went out. There was some sort of power shortage. He tightened his grip around me. Still neither of us saying a word. We just walked. Steps slow and unsure. I was unmindful of the cold since I feel so warm and happy inside. For the first time in my life, I am in those paperback novels I was fond of reading. It seemed as if the world stopped and it was just me and him, wrapped in some safe cocoon. I felt magic. I heard bells. We just walked. Walked with young dreams and beating hearts. We walked and wished the moment would last forever. When we got home, the lights were back. I looked at him. He just smiled at me and I know at that moment that my heart was no loner mine. I just smiled back. I didn’t speak coz I was afraid that words might break the spell of that night.
Oh well,that was before I swallowed the bitter pill called reality… and before I’ve learned of heartbreaks and orgasms.But sometimes I let the memories get hold of me and I let it take me back to yesterday . . . like now. I miss the girl that I was . . . the woman that I am now has eyes and soul as dark and impenetrable as that one starless night.
