Graham Russell and I weren’t made for one another.
I was driven by emotion; he was apathetic. I
dreamed while he lived in nightmares. I cried when he had no tears to shed.
Despite his frozen heart and my readiness to run,
we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each
other’s secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his
pains. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.
Those seconds left us floating, but when reality
knocked us sideways, gravity forced us to descend.
Graham Russell wasn’t a man who knew how to love,
and I wasn’t a woman who knew how to either. Yet if I had the chance to fall
again, I’d fall with him forever.
Even if we were destined to crash against solid
ground.

We didn’t know how to act with one another after
our first kiss. Our situation wasn’t the norm when it came to building a
relationship. We did everything backward. I fell in love with a boy before our
first kiss, and he fell for a girl who he wasn’t allowed to have. Our
connection, our heartbeats, matched one another in our fairytale world, but in
reality, society deemed us as an awful accident. Maybe we were an accident—a
mistake. Maybe we were never supposed to cross each other’s paths. Maybe he was
only meant to be a lesson in life and not a permanent mark. But still, the way
he kissed me… Our kiss was as if heaven and hell collided together, and each
choice was right and wrong at the same exact time. We kissed as if we were
making a mistake and the best decision all at once. His lips made me float
higher, yet somehow descend. His breaths somehow made my heart beat faster as
it came to a complete halt. Our love was everything good and bad wrapped in one
kiss. A part of me knew I should’ve regretted it, but the way his lips warmed
up the cold shadows of my soul…the way he left his mark on me… I’d never regret
finding him, holding him, even if we only had those few seconds as one. He’d
always be worth those tiny seconds we shared. He’d always be worth that soul-connecting
feeling we created when our lips touched. He’d always be the one I spent my
nights dreaming of being near. He’d always be worth it to me. Sometimes when
your heart wanted a full-length novel, the world only gave you a novella, and
sometimes when you wanted forever you only had those few seconds of now. And
all I could do, all anyone could ever do, was make each moment count. After we
went home that night, we didn’t talk about it at all. Not the following week,
either. I focused on Talon. Graham worked on his novel. I believed both of us
were waiting for the right time to come up for us to speak about it, but that
was the tricky thing about timing: it was never right. Sometimes you just had
to leap and hope you didn’t fall.
