You haven't seen me in over a year. It's been a long time and you're a both excited and nervous at the prospect of me staying with you for a full week. You know our history and that we've had both our good times as well as our bad times. The knock on the door makes your heart stop for a second, knowing that when you open it, I will be there. You put on a smile and answer it.
Immediately I embrace you in a hug. My arms wrapping around you and pulling you close. You can feel my muscles firmly holding your body against mine, warm and strong. You can feel just how much I've missed you and that the old flame still burns brightly despite our year apart. I harbor my passion and pull away for a moment, turning what could be more than a greeting into just that. You invite me in and we exchange pleasantries. You show me where to put my things and I offer to take you out to dinner.
We go to the restaurant of your choice, talking all though dinner. As we catch up there are smiles and laughter. You tell me what you've been doing and I tell you stories of how things have been going for me back in Vermont. It feels good to sit across the table from each other again. As we finish I pay the bill and we agree that it's time to head back to the apartment. When we get back you pick a movie and we sit together and watch. It isn't long before I have my arm around you and we are sitting close together.
I turn to you and look into your eyes, no longer paying any attention to the TV. I bring my hand up to your face and brush your hair back. You gaze deeply into mine for a second, unsure if you should stop me from what you know I'm about to do. I lean in and pull you gently towards me. You don't fight it. The kiss is long and loving, but you can feel passion damned up behind it. Passion you know I'm only holding back for now, enjoying our first kiss in over a year and what I've missed for so long. We part for a moment and catch our breath and look into each other's eyes. With that look we both know the passion can no longer be contained.
