one kiss. one kiss deepens. changes. electrifies. until only one breath is needed to sustain two souls.
one hug. lengthens. melds into an embrace. that one embrace can last an hour. a night. an eternity.
one goodbye. brisk and unemotional or drawn out and shattering. one goodbye can become a string of pearls, one moment coalesced into a shiny sphere, link after link, a necklace of goodbyes.
one hello. one smile. one raised eyebrow. a slight lightening of spirit.
one unspoken word. one hand unheld. one heart unmended. one too many goodbyes.
always. just one.

As I read that I just went “Huuumpf” in that slighty happy slighty sad sigh kind of way, thinking, rembering, feeling.
Very nice.

Methinks that we should start a new tradition–one gemstone/pearls/bit per birthday or very memorable occasion so that when we are old we’ll have this long dangly necklace that we can roll our fingers along and remember every birthday, like a rosary.
