You would ask me to lay down with you on the lush green grass.

Keeping your head on my lap i loved the cafuné of your soft hair.

When your eyes watched me intensely, pushing past my body to my soul.

Raising a brow, you just let out a chuckle, beating my heart a bit faster than usual.

"Your brown eyes shine brighter than any city ever could." was all you said.

I didn't even have to check. Your eyes narrated the tale.

Gazes locked at our lips and the wave of basorexia pulled close.

Fireworks exploding, tongues dancing, a saccharine soul-tingling taste.

But none of us could feel a thing, just the quench of thirst that was burning within.

Parting, we gasped for air.

Forehead joining, silently sending a prayer.

You lowered your lashes, afraid of making any eye contact.

"Please, don't leave me," you whispered faintly.

We hugged. Almost the air would be ashamed of passing by.

Afraid one of us might disappear.

"Never," I murmured.

"You make me feel things i didn't believe in anymore."

I never felt loved but then.
