You shuffled closer and began to stroke my head.
Your fingers played through my hair like a comb.
Over and over, feeling my roots and running to my tips.
I could feel your warmth beside me, as still as a rock, like you were holding it all in.
Suddenly, I felt your fingers next to mine,
As we linked arms our fingers became entwined.
And my heart raced a thousand times.
Little did I know, it was beating in time with yours.
We lay there, wrapped up in blankets in the darkness that shone through the open window. All that was under my head was your arm,
and all that was under you, was me.
Words lingered in the air, as silent as a ghost,
Soundless but chilling, ice cold.
Which dampened your hot breath on my shoulder.
And kept me at peace.
You clutched me tightly, more words.
Like you had been holding your breath for a very long time
And now, you've unlocked the safe that's held all your secrets.
And I could feel it flow through me.
This never ending river of feelings.
Flowing, gaining strength, getting bigger and bigger until this moment.
Where there was you and I.
You, and I, and now.
