Instead of letting me go he pulled me towards the forest .

" Tae , stop . " He didn't respond . I knew he wouldn't but it irritated me the same . With every step toward the forest he moved faster and faster until we were running ; running as fast as I possibly could and then he pulled me to go faster .We ran and ran and reached the forest and then we ran faster and deeper in . My breath got shorter and shorter but the worst thing was that my legs burned . It's been ages since I last ran this fast .  I knew that we wouldn't stop so I just grasped his hand more tightly and carried on running . 

Eventually we stopped and we were somewhere deep in the forest . My chest was burning and my face was like ice . I felt like I was floating on water and if I moved , I'd sink . We didn't talk plus I don't think I could have if I tried ; I spent the next ten minutes getting my breath half way regular .

It was like if I reached and touched him I knew he'd be hot from  running and to me , it made it so real ; everything before hadn't been a dream but so dream like . That was real .

I stared at him and looked up at his smiling eyes and saw winter . It was a beautiful , serene winter ; one that wasn't cold and uninviting but sparkling and pure like the snow and sky that surrounded us just then .Before I had enough of staring at him , realising how pretty his eyes were , I was wondering how long we could run . It was exhilarating until it was tiring . If we ran , how long would it be before we just competely burnt out ? Before I could continue or finish my thoughts he kissed me .

He didn't pull me toward him , he didn't even touch me with an
