Sunrise

Her guard was finally down. She let me reach into her thoughts and being, her warmth and strength, her passions and desires. She used her heart to think. She let me in.

She lay comfortably on me without a care in the world. The day was ours for the taking.

I didn't know why or how everything was happening, but I took the opportunity. It felt so right. It felt like the world was justifying itself, making up for all the incompatibilities it set, making up for all the lost time. Things were finally starting to feel right. This is how it's supposed to be.

She looks up to me from my shoulder and pauses for a kiss. Her smile was contagious. Her taste was unnerving, making me realize how much we were meant to be together. She smelled sweet, delightful, and exquisite without being overwhelming. With my arms around her waist and her arms resting on mine, we watched the sun rise. Her skin was soothing. Her touch was sensual. My heart would throb so loud that I'm sure she felt it, and my breath would be so heightened that I could have died of joy. Everything was just right.

This moment, wherever this moment was, although brief, consoled my heart. I close my eyes and hold on as hard as I can.
