NOVEMBER 10

And if I could, I would outstretch my arms and allow you to fall right inside of them. And we would caress each other in a way that would make the surrounding air feel warm and light, absorbing the smells of each other's skin and the faded scents of our perfume from the days long adventures. No talking would be necessary, only the rhythmic sounds of our hearts beating in synchronized motions. The blood runs from my heart to my head to my feet and back again. Pulling away, I give a large smile. One that is bigger than I have given in months. I look up at the midnight stars and then back, once more, at your glowing eyes. There is no need for reassurance. I Am Alive.
