"In love with your ghost"
- Indigo Girls
I couldn't go into work that morning, the memories were too much. It had been exactly one year since you had died in a car wreck on Halloween and my heart and body ached from missing you. My red-rimmed eyes constantly tearing as I watched videos of the time we went to Busch Gardens (remember joking about wanting to visit my "Bush Garden" and "Dark Cunt-ry"?) and our week-long vacation at the beach. Two women in love with the future as bright as the sunrise we woke up to view. Until, the accident...
So today I sit on the couch with a box of Kleenex by my side. My ratty red hair hasn't been brushed all weekend and sleeping is next to impossible. Finally, around midnight on Halloween, as I lie on the couch in my loose sweats and T-shirt, sleep overtakes me.
Suddenly...we are at the beach again. A corona of light surrounds you, but I can still make out your features as you stand nude in front of me silhouetted against the dark sky and sea. Your dark hair, nipples, and pussy providing distraction from your smooth, tanned Hispanic body. I look down to find myself naked as well...and already wet from the sight of yourself.
I can not talk and do not know what to say in any case. You solve the problem by moving close to me and kissing me. A chill runs through me as I realize your kiss is different. It's a phantom kiss as you fade in and out of existence, but I will take what I can get. We hold each other tight and lie down on the shore just out of reach of the crashing waves.
Shyly, as if this were my first time, I caress your breast with my hand, feeling the brown nipple stiffen and wrinkle up at the brush of my thumb. You always loved breast play; sometimes I would spend hours just paying attention to each inch of your bosom. I begin to do so now, licking and tickling that spot on the underside of your beautiful breast that makes you moan. I jump a bit at the hint of a banshee wail in your moan, but then begin to softly kiss and suckle your nipple.
You grab my hand in yours and bring it to your lips. I feel your tongue slowly lick my palm and feel as if my contributions to the wetness of the surf have just begun. You then suck on each of my fingers; your dark wet lips caressing each one. I feel your tongue slide over my fingertip and mirror the action on your breast.
I start to tear up again, though, and hold you tight to me. "Let's stay like this forever," I whisper into your ear. "I don't want to wake up; I want to be with you for eternity."
