Street Lights

  • Dec. 24th, 2008 at 11:07 PM


I looked out my window,and watched as the street lamps lit the street with their dim yellow-orange light. On the street I saw one person,and I know that it was him. Tears filled my eyes,but I wiped them away before they fell. I sighed deeply,and got up off my bed.I had school work to finish,that was already late,and I didn't want the previous events to ruin my grades even more.

Pulling my chair out, I turned on my iPod,and Love Hurts by Incubus came on. I paused for a moment,and the tears I tried to conceal came back and fell down my face. My iPod seemed to always have the song for the moment on hand, and I hated it for that. Sometimes I wish I could just throw it against the wall, hoping it would break, but then I'd have to get a new one,and that wasn't an option. So I just sat there,and endured the song, it was a good song, by one of my favorite bands, but I didn't want to listen to it at that moment.I also didn't want to change it, either, which was strange.

I just listened to the beat of the song,and got to my work.About twenty minutes into working, my mother knocked on my door and told me that my friend Alan came to see me. I froze up for a moment.He just left, I wiped my face clean of the tears and said in,a voice as calm as I could get it;"Okay!" Then I heard footsteps go down the steps. Seconds after I heard them coming up. Alan opened the door a crack,and I didn't move.

I just stood up and faced him, but my head was down."Tomas....I-"I put my hand up."I should be the one saying sorry..."I said looking at him.He came closer leaving only inches between us,and I turned my head.
I kissed him. I never intended to, I just did. I couldn't look at him. I wouldn't look at him.I felt ashamed of myself. Ashamed of what I did, what I wanted to do.Tears started to fall from my eyes again,and streamed down my dark cheeks."Tomas....."He said in a in a soft voice. Slowly my eyes turned to look at him.

Then my heart stopped as he closed the space between us. I felt the soft texture of his lips against mine, and my eyes remained open in shock. A second passed in reality, but in that room time seemed to have stopped. He moved away slightly, and we looked at each other. Time seemed irrelevant to us now. Minutes, hours, seconds; all of time stopped, even the hands on the clock looked that they have stopped counting the seconds passing.

I smiled at him and said, breaking the air of silence; "Thank you. I love you."His eyes softened a little, and he wrapped his arms around. He then pulled me close to me and kissed me again.

That night he spent the night at my house.I asked my mother,and she told me that it was okay,and Alan's mother let's him do anything as long as he gets good grades and calls first.After everyone was asleep we stayed up in my room,and just sitting there looking outside at the street lamps with the dim yellow-orange light. He then looked at me,and I looked back. I could tell that he cared for me just as much as I cared for him. We kissed again,but this one was more passionate then the last two.Throughout the night we shared our private moment together, with the street lamps as our only witness to what happened.

After,what felt like hours passed;Alan fell asleep,and I held his waist gently as I watched the street lamps turn off the yellow-orange light. At that moment I saw the only witness to our moment close its eyes to the waking world,and I felt a small comfort in that. However I also knew that the waking world would be more ruthless than the street lamps have.

I hoped you enjoyed it,and comment please
