𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰, 𝓲𝓷 𝓗𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓮'𝓼 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓭

Slowly waking up, I feel the warmth of your body, your heady scent, right next to me.

So, I look up to find you. Still asleep, and it makes me smile somehow. 
You look so peaceful.
But it's not always been that way... 

I gently brush away the blond strands covering your face with my fingertips. I skim your cheek and stop at the corner of your lips. It reminds me of that winter night when you laid down your weapons, when I let you conquer me.

Who could have predicted I would end up here, in your arms?
Yet, here I am, bare, right next to you, and I'm so happy.

Slowly, I'm getting closer, closer to your body which I love touching and feeling against mine.

We don't have to hide anymore, now that we have faced everyone.
All these prejudices and conflicts that could have torn us apart only made us stronger.
I have no regrets.
I know we will overcome the fate sealed by your name and my blood, as we have tamed our fears and uncertainties.
I won't change a single thing about us, even if we had to hurt each other to realize just how much we cared.

I'm still looking at you, your features have become more manly throughout the years. It's always amusing for me to notice...
And on your neck, a red mark, a memory from last night. I will mark your skin again to remind you that you're mine.

Your playful smiles, I will never let you give them to anyone else.

You are the other half of me. As I am yours. 
Two sides of one coin. 

We've been searching for each other for so long, you and I, behind words that have often outrun our thoughts.
You gave me such a hard time, but so did I. We rejected each other so many times, only to come together again, caught in something that was beyond us. Waiting for one of us to admit defeat. Blinded by our ego, the illusions of pride.

You knew all too well why I was stealing looks at you when I was still trying to decode your smiles.
I was never good at hiding my feelings. But you were, and you still do sometimes. 

Always looking so impassive, as if nothing could affect you. And then, you let me knock down your protective walls. You moved me in ways undefined when I discovered who you were trying to hide so hard.

I love you. Against all odds. Beyond reason.

I love you.

You've never said it back. But, I know you love me too. I can see it through your gestures,  your attentions, the way you look at me. This softness in your voice that you save for me. The trust you gave me when you let me break in. The oath you took, saying you'll always be there for me.

Finally, you're waking up. 
I smile and nestle against you. I love the sensation of your skin against mine, I feel alive, full of energy, invincible.

And now, you open your eyes and I let myself drown in them, until I get lost.

I cannot fight the urge to taste your lips, and you kiss me back, more languorously than I just did, your tongue is playful, tempting.

You can be quite headstrong, impulsive... but you know exactly how to keep me longing for you, how to cover my skin with shivers, even with the slightest touch.

Everything about you is intense, sometimes infuriating, sometimes unsettling. But when your true self comes up to the surface... 

...And I've lost the trail of my thoughts, haven't I? 

You're the only one who can make me stop thinking, you know.

Your lips come and go in my neck, and your name escapes my mouth in a prayer that only arouses your desire.

I can feel your need intensifying when I'm already burning and drifting away.

And you lay down on me with a mischievous smile on your lips. Your kisses becoming more and more impatient. 

How could I ever be tired of it? You know I'm yours. Never far from your arms.
