“I can still feel the warmth of your body pressed against mine.  We were watching fireworks by the lake, during Canada day, there was a slight chill in the air but I didn’t mind this at all.  I had my arms wrapped around your waist and the back of your head was resting on my chest.  We were both looking up in the sky in awe, as it exploded with multiple different shapes and colors.  That moment for me felt like a dream, it felt like my life could never be better.  It was like something that you could only read about in Romantic novels or see in movies. I didn’t know that such a feeling was ever possible. To experience such an ethereal, unmoving moment in your life, and it didn’t even compare from what I had imagined before.  The connection between two people with different views and beliefs, somehow found their way to each other, standing there on the beach frozen in time while everyone around were loud, noisy, and full of movement.  You and I were perfectly still, and we didn’t care about anything else that was happening around us.  With my heart beating uncontrollably, at that very moment in time I knew I was in love.  I wanted to stay in that moment forever, I didn’t want to leave that spot that we were standing on and go back to my ordinary life, I just wanted to be there with you until everything else just faded away and that the only thing I could see or feel or hear, was you.  But like every great moments, it must come to an end.  The last firework exploded as a big sphere of light in the sky and people applauded.  I remember how amazed and astonished you were when you looked at me and exhaled “Wow! Did you see that? That was amazing!”  I love how your face look like when you smile, it wasn’t pretentious or forced.  I also love the sound of your laugh, which highlights your smile even more.  Like a child giggling after hearing a silly joke, it was true and innocent.  I never knew that one day, all of those would disappear.  When I was with you, I thought that I would feel this way for the rest of my life, but like those fireworks, they do come to an end. I know, someday I will find someone, and I also know that someday I will fall in love again.  I would probably find the love I truly deserve, but the saddest part about it all, is that it wouldn’t be with you and it would be different.  It won’t be the same love, the love that taught me how to feel this way in the first place.”
