Ever have a dramatic event in your life play out like it was written in a screenplay? First kiss with someone new, last conversation with a loved one on their death bed, something like that? Very often, these events seem to play out far differently than we anticipated, often without the dramatic flourish we see on the big screen. But sometimes, it really feels like it was written in a Hollywood studio.
My example: Years back, I had a sloppy breakup with a girl I was still madly in love with. We both knew the demise of our relationship was her fault. I was hurting pretty bad. Our last meeting (me removing the last of my things from her place) was the "dramatic event" in question. We had been calm and quiet through that whole part of the day. As I loaded the last thing into my car, she was still up on her porch. I closed the door, and she walked briskly out toward me. She burst into tears, held me and told me she was so sorry for how things turned out, and wished me well in the future. As she was walking out, I kid you not, it started pouring rain. We stood in the rain, getting soaked, for a good 5-10 minutes, just holding each other and her softly crying. With our hair matted to our heads and our clothes soaked through, we shared a final kiss-nothing sexual or graphic about it in any way, just a long, extremely emotional closed-mouth kiss. We didn't say another word, I got into my car and she watched me drive away.
Sounds cheesy as fuck, and I guess it is, but that moment will stay with me forever.
