He's everything that I have been waiting for my whole life. I wish I could explain his eyes, and how the sound of his voice gives me butterflies; how his shy smile makes my heart skip a beat every time I see it and how every time that I am with him, I feel complete.
The Autumn sun is like a flirty lover. It reminds of home, of warm hugs and of a love that only escalates every day. Other days, his eyes look tired, as if he is bearing a burden that can't be shared. But today, as we sat wrapped in a bubble of warmth and sunshine, he looked younger; his eyes had something different in them- an adoration, a love that pulled at my heartstrings. A soft breeze rustled up the fallen leaves around us, creating music that only a few can hear, and in that moment, I could feel myself falling hopelessly in love.
In that moment, everything around me slowed down and time stood still as I drowned in his eyes. All that mattered was him and me, our fingers entwined, his eyes looking at me so intently, as if I was the missing piece of the puzzle that completed his universe. And in that moment I realized what it was. It was him. Something about him that made me feel like I'm about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames.
In this life, he can't be mine. Maybe we'll meet again a hundred years later and we'll have a whirlwind romance. Maybe even then I'll have to let him go, our love story cut short yet again. But I'll wait for a thousand years more if need be to call him mine, even if it is for a few days. Our time together is numbered, but I have so much love to give him. In every life that I live, I'll make sure I find my way back to him and each day I'll love him as if it were our last day together.
