Kissy

 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. Ready or not, here I come!

*She's quietly standing behind the doorway peeking through.

*His blue eye meets her eye and he opens the door with enough space to tag her.

*She stares up at him, nowhere to go, while he stares down at her.

I won't tag you if you kiss me.

*She puts her chin up, closes her eyes, and slightly purses her lips.

*He leans down and kisses her gently.

*His lips are soft against hers and it feels like there's some sort of dry electric current between the two pairs of lips gently meeting one another. 

*Best feeling on earth, she thinks. 

*He smiles at her and she smiles at him. 

*He turns around and runs out of the room. 

*She takes a deep breath and stays where she is until the game is over.

Mom

 I wake up and lay with my hands put together under my face. My mind is so busy, overwhelmed. I laid here and thought for over an hour. Then, suddenly I heard your voice in my head, commanding my attention, "Suzie". Softly you spoke as you interrupted the train of thoughts passing through like Amtrak. I have no clue as to what I was thinking but my is it good to hear your voice. 

I listened to this song the other day and it made me appreciate your presence in my life mom. I hope it lasts forever and I am so thankful for you and dad. 

For the people who have lost a mother or anyone they loved, I'm so sorry and wish you peace and healing.
