She sat there in the cool of the evening looking at the stars and thinking of long walks in the dark. If only he were there to hold her. He usually was. He spent more time with her than she had a right to ask for. More time than anyone had EVER really spent with her…and he did it daily, no matter what came up…he found SOME way to be with her or to communicate with her. She sat back and marveled at it once again. Their love had seemed to bloom almost overnight and yet it seemed ageless. She hoped that she had made him understand that when she talked about him being with her until “the end”…it was not an attempt to be gloomy; of course this was the beginning of many happy years together. But she had always imagined finding her prince, having him rescue her, grow old together and be holding each other as they slipped over to the place from whence they came. It was a defining of who “they” were for her. It was not dwelling on the unhappy side of their future…it was stating…they HAD one. She needed him to know that the last face her eyes ever wanted to see on this side was his, it was HIS.
She thought of his beautiful face and shuddered, wishing SO badly she could make him understand what his face did to her. Just the very sight of him excited her. As she looked at his face today she just kept thinking over and over of how familiar it was…it was HIM…it was his face…it was THAT face that she had seen a million times. It had walked beside her in her dreams, it had held her in the night when she cried herself to sleep, it had been the face that she was SO desperately looking for when she looked at others…it was HIM…HIS face that she had seen blended into so many.
The cool breeze gently blew across her warm body, the smell of flowers and water in the air as the gardens opened itself to the night. She thought of the last time she saw him and all the things that they said and had done. SECRETS! He knew SO many secrets about her; he shared so many WITH her. Their life had truly begun. It was not just a relationship…it was a life. They were building it together! It was built on love and trust and intimacy. He knew more about her than any other person on this planet…he KNEW her intimately. She blushed as she thought of it…still unsure of what she really felt. And then she thought again of that face…and the way he had looked when he told her he loved her over and over. She knew it was okay. She knew there was NO fear…she KNEW his face.
I love you babe…and I am NOT afraid.
Forever claimed….D
