For one reason or another, there was something keeping me in the same spot still. I felt like my heart was holding me down, and I just could not walk away. Each step I tried to take backwards were being paralyzed, so I tried something different. I took a step forward towards you, and all of a sudden I moved. My heart beat the words it longed to say, and my mouth allowed them, ” Can I see you later Alice?”. suddenly my brain caught up with me, and I felt a bit nervous waiting for your reply. every time I asked you a question, I could not bear to watch you decide. So each time, I would stare at the ground waiting, sometimes I wonder, but then I answer my own question, I could wait for an answer from you for years and lifetimes Alice, because with an answer, comes the sound of your voice, and to hear that, would be heaven.

As I stared at the ground I closed my eyes, and drowned myself in your voice, remembering all those times you would whisper in my ear, all those times you told me you loved me, and all those times you cried out loud as we made love, and then I felt myself hit the bottom. There was no way back with you Alice, once I fell, I fell, and falling in love with you, was the best feeling in the world.

Your finger softly touching my chin, chased me out of my dreams, and I opened my eyes to find my reflection in your beaming eyes. You are so incredibly beautiful, and yours is the only beauty that can be imprinted in my mind forever. I looked down to your lips as the curled into a small smile, the same one that always told me there was no other answer, and then they moved, and everything else stopped. Nothing in the world mattered when you spoke, I never needed anything else, not even air whenever I heard your voice, and you said, ” yes”.
