Fast asleep, I wake shakily from my dream. The night before you weren’t there and I awoke to your green eyes staring back into mine. Where did you come from? Are you an illusion that my twisted mind has conjured up?
We lay in bed, talking for what seems like hours but is only minutes. I study your face, the way your eyes stare into mine, the way your lips, so full and round slowly curve into a smile. I can see the stubble on your chin, and the way the small indent disappears when you smile.
I can smell the lingering scent of your cologne mixed with sweat. The softness of your hands, and they way they caress my back when you hold me. I can sense the heat emanating from your hands, as if they were on fire and I was the ice with which to cool them.
The sound of your voice, when you talk to me in the morning, the feel of your lips touching mine I have a sense of what is or what is about to come and I am scared, I am broken, but I feel safe with you. I feel complete.
You are forever looking for your unicorn, and I was forever looking for my
When I watch you move, you move with the ease of water flowing through the river. You give me the need to be better, to want better. You make me laugh louder than I ever have before, and you make my heart skip beats when I think about you.
But I am scared, I am scared because I am broken, I am incomplete and I am lost. I am scared because I do not want to lose you, but yet fear that I might have already. I would give you the world if you would call me yours. I would cherish the love you gave me and return it ten fold.
For you I would travel the distance of the earth to move mountains and part the seas. I would protect you from the man inside your head, and I would feel safe and warm as I lay in your arms each night.
But I am scared.
