Ecstasy of an Innocent Heart

The wind was blowing the hairs away from her face. She was two steps behind and the hand that was holding mine was guiding the way ahead. The skin was warm and the grip strong. Though very few words were being exchanged, the silence did not prove to be uncomfortable. The feeling of bliss was silently flowing between them. The wind was indeed doing the tricks. She pulled him back asking to walk by her side, pulling him closer holding his hand. They continued to walk in silence with occasional sound of the vehicles passing by. The destination was not very far but neither of the two was in the hurry to reach. They knew they would have to part till they do not find another opportunity, another escapade to be with each other. Yes, it was their little secret.
He pulled her close and wrapped his arm around her neck and hid his face in her hairs. The warmth of his skin felt nice on her skin. She closed her eyes and felt his breath. They were still walking looking for some solace is some corner where the world is not watching and they can become lost in each other. But tonight did not seem to favour them. The need to be in each other’s arms, though only for few minutes, did not seem to turn into reality. They knew they have to part soon yet they kept walking, hoping against all hopes.
What were the thoughts dancing in their head? What was he thinking when he was holding her hand in his strong grip and took the hand and placed his lips on it. He placed a kiss on her hand expressing how dear she is to him and how much it meant to him. She was taken aback for a moment. Yet she sensed the emotions in him and smiled back and took his hand in hers and made him feel that she is there, right by his side, always and forever.
The time seemed to fly and the darkness continued to deepen. She did not want to go nor did he want to leave her at that crossroad. She looked at him for that one last look into his eyes before he bade goodbye for the night and she felt the emotions gushing to her cheeks and a sadness creeping in her heart. Yet she did not know what to “name” these emotions and wonders if he feels the same. But then as she says goodbye and place a kiss on his soft cheek and he let her go from his embrace, a thought dances in her head. Is it required to “name” everything and put the “feeling” in the cage of this named entity? She smiled at herself as she climbed the stairs of her building realising that the feeling she has been experiencing is beyond the definitions of the existing words.
Pure bliss has no boundaries. No definitions. It is just the person who creates it.

Yes, it is pure bliss.  She continues to think about him, smiling occasionally when some memory hits again. It is him who is making her world go round and embracing her world to make it their world. The wind is strong now. Pushing the curtains on the window and hitting her face. The soft music playing in the background and his touches lingering on the skin, has she been so happy before? She does not care to answer. All that matters is the broad smile on her face knowing that he is happy too.
