I closed my eyes as I laid on the bed, my back facing the ceiling. It had been a meaningful day spent well. With a smile, I took in a deep breath, inhaling the fresh scent of lavender. There was nothing else that could make the rest of the day bad, since it was just two hours away from a new day.
Then there was a faint scent of lemon and rose, and then a pair of hands resting on my back gently. Those familiar rough fingers and callused skin, big but just the right size, could only belong to one person. Furthermore, only he smelt of lemon and rose.
"Hope you enjoyed yourself today," his voice like a whisper tossed in the wind, tangible yet fragile.
"Mmm... I did."
Slowly, his hands moved down my shoulder blade and I felt him trail kisses up the side of my neck. His soft and tender lips gave way to loving kisses which were like nobody's. The smile on my face only grew wider as I shivered under his touch.
As his breath gently tickled my skin, I turned around to face him.
But there was no one.
I quickly got up and looked around my room, outside my room and further out in the cold, but he was nowhere to be seen. Heading back to my room, I sighed in a mood of hopelessness, a sad frown enveloping my face.
As I sunk into my bed, I felt my heart die a little more inside. It was all over, and there was nothing I could do to bring it all back. All this while I had been deluding myself, misleading myself. Then I felt a weight beside me on the bed.
Without missing a beat, I sat up and saw him sitting there. He was smiling, and it was as if all my problems vanished. Then a slight wind breezed into my room, and he started to disintegrate, pieces of him drifting away into the wind, like the pappus of a dandelion.
I could only watch, speechless and more dead than ever. Just like how we never lasted, he never did either... and this was goodbye.
Forever.
