Its night, the darkness is laid over the area softly as if it were a blanket. The air is cool, with just a hint of crisp, and it’s clear like you’ve never imagined. There is no presence of smoke or chemicals, just grass and sky and, night.A girl walks quietly with her bag to the door of the house; she glances upwards but keeps walking. If she were to stop she would be frozen, staring wide-eyed at the amazing stars above her. She climbs the stairs and enters the house. It’s dark, soft, quiet, and new. A hand holds hers in the darkness and leads her to a room. The bags are put down and the light is turned on. The room is warm. The bed in the corner is familiar, and the girl walks over to it and sits down. Immediately she feels comfortable, safe and happy. Although she is in a room she’s never seen, she is home. She looks around at the room, and tries her hardest to take it all in, the paint, the chair, the closet, the bathroom- he’s looking at her. Nervous. She looks away. The light is turned off and she’s lying on the bed. His arms embrace her and she is overcome with emotion that expresses itself in a slight tremble that can be felt by the man on top of her. The tremble slowly fades away as he continues to hold her. He runs his hands down her arms, and then he kisses her. The emotion rises, becomes unbearable, and a drop quietly falls from her eye in the darkness, followed by a slow stream of tears.
A content-ness you could never imagine. A love you have never felt. A moment I had waited for, for months. I cried in that darkness, silently. You never knew. I wanted to stay in that moment forever. No one makes me feel the way you do. I have never felt as fully loved as I did in those moments.
