Carpe Diem

His warm body embraced me. I could feel the heat from his trembling body. Slowly he stroked the string of hair near my right ear and faintly whispered my name with such a force. He tried to fasten his hold but it all seemed weak. I hold tight to his nape and refused to let him go. Creeping, my left hand travelled to his chest and felt the slow rhythm of his body. His heart thumped simultaneously with not much enthusiasm. Warm tears pelted on his body and he moved a little bit to give me more space. My heart swollen when I knew it was time for me to let go. I clenched his white shirt but he was stronger than me. He knew death was definite and will surely visit every living thing. He rolled himself away but my hand hooked him. He smiled faintly and his hard icy cold lips pressed hard on my lips. It was as sweet as always but it was just a struggling kiss of assurance to ensure me that everything will turn out just fine.
