Chapter 10:

Thought this day will not come

When I’ll have you all to myself.

I can spend all my days like this,

Alone with you in my arms.

The night seems so short,

When I want to stay like this with you.

Wanting only to be with you,

And not let tomorrow come our way.

If only I can stay like this with you,

Not be afraid of our tomorrow.

Can I pray for a day like this,

With my baby, my baby that is you.

***

Can I tell you,

How my day went,

Say my stories,

Your eyes looking at me.

Share your smile,

Share your laughter,

Maybe your tears,

Giving your warmth my way.

You can tell me,

How your day went,

Say your stories,

My eyes looking at you.

Share my smile,

Share my laughter,

Maybe even my tears,

Giving my warmth your way.

***

I have waited all my life,

For a chance like this,

To be able to find you,

And be able to love you.

I have wanted all my life,

For just a moment like this,

To be able to share with you,

And be able to love you.

I have desired all my life,

For an instant like this,

A chance to be with you,

And be able to love you.

“Wait.” Eyes blinking, trying to stay awake. She squinted her eyes, gazed at his lips and smiled, and looked down at the vanity looking for something.

He followed her gaze, turned his head and tried to see what she was looking for, and asked, “What is it?”

“Wait.” Was all she said, and came closer to the vanity still looking for something, and then her hands moved shifting through some items.

He’s surveying the things on the vanity and silently waited on her.

“Ah, Here it is.”

His eyes followed her hand picking an item.

She turned back to him and sassily smiled up at him, “Let’s put this on you.” Waving the lip balm in her hand.

He waited for her with a smilet, while she opened it.

She glanced at the mirror.

He watched her put it on her lips, and then he waited hoping she’ll put it on him. After she finished, he pouted his lips gesturing for her to put it on him.

And with a smile she tiptoed, held him by the arm pulling him closer.

And though surprised, he lowered his head. He was looking at her eyes looking at his lips, he shifted his eyes to her pouty lips and felt her slither her lips to his.

Soft eyes,

Caressing my lips,

Soft lips,

Caressing my lips.

My eyes,

Caressing your lips,

My lips,

Caressing your lips.

Your eyes,

Caressing my lips,

Your lips,

Caressing my lips.

Soft eyes,

Caressing your lips,

Soft lips,

Caressing your lips.

She moved back a little to look at his lips to see her work, and then she lightly rubbed her lips together.

 He kept his eyes on her lips.

Soft,

Your lips are so soft.

Sweet,

Your lips are so sweet.

She gazed at his eyes with a ghost of a smile, “Now we could go to sleep.”

Eyes blinking, he turned his gaze to her eyes, and then back to her lips, and he  slowly rubbed his own lips together.

Soft lips,

I can still feel your eyes on my lips.

Soft lips,

I can still feel your lips on my lips.

She moved closer, leaned her head to his chest, her arms going around him lightly hugged him, and closed her eyes. A deep intake of breath, a sigh, and a soft whisper, “I’m so tired.”

His arms went around her and hugged her back, and like a touch of a feather gave a massage, “Oh, my poor baby, come, and let’s go to bed.”

She straightened a little away from him, hands lightly held his waist, eyes still closed, and yawned widely.

He was smiling at her, while watching her yawn.

Yours alone,

My heart is yours alone.

Yours alone,

My love is yours alone.

Yours alone,

My life is yours alone.

He thought while gazing at her, ‘I am looking forward to spending my future with this girl right in front of me, and I only feel hopeful.’

You have captured my heart,

With the pleasantness of your love.

You have enslaved my heart,

With the sweetness of your love.

He bent a little placing his left arm beneath her thighs and at the same time his right arm at her back, and in one careful slow move lifting her in a bridal fashion. She was surprised by the unexpected  motion, blinking her eyes open, lips forming a silent oh, and her right hand unconsciously went to his shoulder, and with her left hand holding her own right hand.

You have invaded my heart,

With the sweetness of your love.

You have ensnared my heart,

With the sweetness of your love.

Her eyes automatically turned to his, and found him smiling at her, and looking at his smiling face she can’t help but smile back. She again closed her eyes, relaxed her body against him, and bent her head to the crook of his neck and shoulder.

You are the only one I love,

I have nothing more to ask for,

You are my one and only love,

I want nothing more to ask for.

He walked slowly with her in his arms to the bedroom. He felt good to feel her warmth and have her in his arms. If only he could have her like that all the time. He took his time to get her to bed.  

I don’t want to lose you,

My only prayer is be with you.

I don’t want to lose you,

My only answer is be with you.

The thoughts that were running in his head as he walked, ‘I can’t do the normal stuff an ordinary couple would do.’ Sigh. ‘I sometimes wish I could spend more time with you outside these rooms.’

There is a wish deep inside my soul,

The one I try to cover again and again.

But even  as I try with all my might,

There is nothing I could do to hide it.

My precious you, you are inside my soul,

You have captured me and took my pain.

Even as you try to evade me and take flight,

There is nothing you could do to fight it.

You are meant for me, as I am meant for you,

We are intended as each other’s destiny.

Time stands still when we are together,

My life means more when I am with you.

You are designed for me, as I am designed for you,

You are my destiny, as I am your destiny.

Time’s hands forever hold us together,

Your life means more when it’s me and you.

Upon reaching the bed, she was already fast asleep, he carefully balanced her in his arms and with his left hand he reached for the end top corner of the comforter and pulled it halfway down. He then carefully laid her down on the left side of the bed.  

The first time I have met you,

I have only wish to know you.

The few times I have met you,

I wanted to get close to you.

He stood there for a second, gazing lovingly down at her, and bent down a tiny bit and with his right hand reached out to smooth strands of her hair away from her face, and with a breath, spoke, “Beautiful.” He found himself entranced with her.

I knew from that moment we met,

I knew you and I belong together.

I knew from the moment we met,

I knew you and I  will be together.

He lightly ran his fingers to her hair, while gazing at her sleeping face. His hand then moved to her closed eyes, and with one finger he ran as light as a feather the very tip  to her eyelashes. He watched her eyes moving behind the closed eyelids, and found it fascinating. He was just wondering and imagining what could possibly be going on behind those eyelids.

I am glad I met someone like you,

I am glad I have someone like you.

I am glad I got someone like you,

I am glad I love someone like you.

He sat down right beside her on the bed, held her left hand, his eyes moved to her lips, and smiled remembering what she did and what her lips felt moving against his lips. He can almost still feel her lips on his lips, lightly rubbing them together, and running his teeth to his lower lip.

Without knowing,

how you took my breath away.

Without knowing,

how you leave me breathless.

Without knowing,

how you took my sense away.

Without knowing,

how you leave me senseless.

Shaking his head trying to let go of the image in his head, he released her hand, he stood up and went back to the vanity to look for the hand tube moisturizer. He knew where it was and his eyes easily found it among the items on the vanity. He picked it up and walked right back to the side of the bed, and cautiously sat right back down beside her.

Please, allow me, to have you.

Please, permit me, to take you.

Please, equip me, to hold you.

Please, grant me, to love you.

He flicked open the hand tube moisturizer, poured some on his right hand, lightly dropped the container on his side, and  then gently took her left hand. He softly started thoroughly applying it on her hand and gently painstakingly massaged it. He took his time, diligently massaging every inch of her fingers and her whole palm.  

These soft hands,

Give warmth to me.

These soft hands,

Give life to me.

He carefully released her hand and placed it down on the bed. He then reached for the tube of moisturizer again and pour some more again on his hand, again lightly dropped the container on his side, and he gently reached for her other hand. He administered the same diligence on her other hand.

Can you hear,

the sound of my heartbeat.

I want to hear,

the sound of your heartbeat.
