Lonnie POV
As everyone else exited the hospital room, the biggest smile crept across my face. There he was, my love, my best friend, that brown skinned nigga that never left my mind. I wanted to grab him up, swing him around and kiss him all over. I haven't held him in so long and I fear that I may forget his scent. I miss how our bodies mesh when we lie together, we're a perfect match.
I watched him as he took a seat in the chair beside my bed. I reached out for his hand and his melted into mine like butter on warm bread. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead.
"I'm sorry." Were the first words to escape his mouth. Do I blame him for my condition, or was it truly by chance? Our eyes meet and lock into place.
"I love you." Was my reply. He looked at me with such surprise that it almost hurt. But I've never said that to him before, at least not out loud.
His eyes left my own and found focus on the floor.
"I love you too."
With that he arose from his chair. Our hands parted ways and I watched his white Nike's, one after the other, disappear into nothingness.
Sleep overtakes me again. I dream of him.
