The warm rays of the sun looked over fare skin; brushing shoulders with its stinging kiss. The light peeked through the few clouds as it descended into the sea. The waters calmly laid in their depths, surrounded by sand and endless roads of piers. The warmth was soaking into exposed skin, but the real source of heat came from the contact of limbs. Two young beings sat huddled within each other. They both looked out over the distant skies, watching the faraway light sink back to night. Cold pebbles conformed themselves to their toes as they dug themselves into their graves. The day was fading before their eyes.

A thin blanket was thrown around the two. A man sat with his arms around his prey; his knees made a prison as she leaned back into his hold, a chin rested on her shoulder. Their thoughts were filled with each other, each writing a story with each touch. Life was released from lips and the man turned his cheek, meeting his lips with the nape of her neck. “Tell me it will be like this endlessly.” He said in a deep, transcending voice. “I can’t let the skies take you away. Stay.” His words floated up up into her ears, forever entering themselves in her memory. “I just found you, I can’t let you go. You've embedded yourself into me; I need you to get through this tedious thing they call life… I’ve dreamt you up in my mind for so long, now the real image has spilled from my eyes into air. You’re real. I’ve waited for you… don’t go.” His lips pleaded with her mind; bringing it pain.

The young women closed her heavy eyes as they filled with water; toppling it over in the process. She knew that there were going to be many more tears like this one. It traveled from its pool down her cheek. The air caught sight of it and turned the warm liquid into cold, biting ice. The trail led itself to the lips that never wanted to part with the skin it caressed.
