"Luna"

I know that voice, your voice. 

My breathing becomes ragged as I turn my head to face you. You're even more beautiful up close. The glow of the fire lights up your handsome features. You blink and turn towards the fire again. I follow your profile, scanning my eyes along the slope of your nose. The slight bump and the upturned angle of the tip. Your mouth is slightly parted and I take in the upwards curve of your lip. I can make out a faint scar running along it. It makes you look handsome and brave. 

 You turn to face me, your eyes wander my face. I want to turn away and it takes all my effort to keep facing you. Your gaze seems to burn through my face. Instead of focusing on the fact that you are staring at me I try to take in as much of your beauty as possible.

I'm not sure how long we sit there staring into each other's eyes, but I know that it is long enough to make me fall in love with you. It only makes me want more. Overcome with desperation I reach out and grab your hand. At first you are surprised then you relax and gently pull my hand into yours, tracing circles the inside of my palm. But even this is not enough for me. 

I get up pulling you away from the people. When we are far enough away I lay down on the grass already wet with dew and stare up at the twinkling stars. I can feel your body next to mine. I smile as you intertwine your fingers into my hand. I can't look at you though. My eyes instead focus on the stars. I look at the patterns they form all across the galaxy. I try to take deep breaths but my heart is beating faster than it ever has before. 

You gently squeeze my hand, I can feel your hot breath against my cheek. I close my eyes and rotate my head so that we are facing each other. When I open them again I stop breathing. I try and fail to concentrate. Your eyes search my face and focus on my lips. The corner of your mouth twitches, and the next moment I feel your lips pressed against mine. 

Gasping, I blindly reach out wrapping my hand around your neck and pulling you close. You cradle my cheeks running your thumb along my jaw. My mind goes blank and I seem to lose the capability to breathe. The kiss becomes more intense. You pull me on top of you, so I can hear your heart beating rapidly beneath your ribs. We become one, legs tangling, as we roll across the grass.

Finally I pull away for air, and I can tell that you are breathing as hard as I am by the way your chest rises and falls at a rapid pace. I roll off of you and try to catch my breath. Your fingers make their way up my cheeks and play with the windblown curls on my head. I smile at you and reach out to feel your lips, my hands lingering on the small scar. I sigh then inhale, breathing in the rich night air. My eyes wander up to the stars and at that moment I feel fulfilled. Like nothing can ruin my happiness.

I turn towards you again and rest my head on your chest, right above your heart.

"Luna," You whisper into the darkness. I nod against your chest. "You are so beautiful."

I laugh, the sound echoing through the night. You kiss the top of my head and I can feel your eyelashes brushing against the top of my cheek on your way down. I shiver and close my eyes, falling asleep to the sound of our hearts beating at the same rhythm. In that instant I forget everything because I feel it, and I know you do too.

We.

Are.

One.
