“God, Dane….” She finally managed to get out. “I-I….” she stammered as Dana pulled away slightly, just enough to look into her eyes, and she put a finger on the blonde’s soaked lips.

”I only have a few minutes, so let me do the speaking, alright?” Alice could do nothing but nod, the lump on her throat wasn’t allowing her to form a coherent word. Dana could feel the warm prickle of her lover’s tears as Alice buried her head into her chest. A small smile appeared on her face as she realized; she was once again in the arms of the woman she loved.

“I’m here because you need to know some things. Things that I should have told you when I was, ermm, alive…” Alice winced, shutting her eyes tightly, she squeezed Dana even more. The brunette led their way to a bench nearby. Their bodies entwined, hanging on to each other like they’d never let go. They sat there silently as they became one. Dana caressed the blonde’s cheek with her thumb as she whispered…

“I meant it…” Confused, Alice blinked.

“W-w…hat?” she asked with a vulnerable voice.

”My last words Al… I meant what I said.”  Dana searched for a reaction on Alice’s face before continuing, she didn’t want to overload Alice with too much sentiment. She already had enough overwhelming emotions. But some things had to be declared, and it was Dana’s last chance to do so. Dana held her hand lightly as she fixed her eyes deep into Alice’s chocolate brown ones. The ones that have been yearning to meet the eternity like blue eyes… Dana took a minute to absorb the gorgeous being in her arms.

“I’ve never stopped loving you Alice.” she whispered into her ear, sincerely. “Not even for a second since the instant we’ve met.” they both closed their eyes with heavy sighs, enjoying the feelings they were giving each other. “And that night, at 4am, when you kissed me, you opened my Pandora’s Box. I couldn’t take a breathing space, not because of you, but because of my own feelings. I had the urge to touch you, to be with you, to see you, to hear you and to feel you every single second I was awake. Even in my sleep, you consumed my dreams. It terrified me Al, and then I did what I do the best. I ran away… and I’m sorry, for the way I hurt you.” she kept her eyes down, ashamed. Alice lifted up her chin to give her a reassuring look “No one has ever made me feel the way you did with only a slight graze. God, Al you have to know, you have to understand, you were the only one for me. You still are, but I can’t do anything about it anymore.”  She cupped Alice’s right cheek with one hand as she pressed her own cheek on Alice’s left. Tears streaming both their eyes, they nuzzled into each other.
