Eternally The Night That Will Last Forever

His eyes. Blue as the sea and as beautiful as summer.
His hair. Golden with a tint of the rainbow.
His hands. Course and strong in mine.
His heart. Big as the earth and in time with mine.

   By the fire, you had your arms around me. Your mother said something to your father about their 25 year anniversary coming up. You leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I think we can make it 25 years." My heart skipped a beat then went twice the speed. I smiled up at you and resisted the urge to kiss you in front of everyone. I squeezed you and lay my head on your chest and watched the roaring fire and listened to the beat of your heart.

   In the car, you held me. You whispered to me to never leave you and that I was your world. And I whispered back that I would never leave you. The street lights highlighted your face and made your eyes as bright as the stars that were dancing above us. You held me tighter. I fell asleep and dreamed of us sitting by the fire where we just were, the moment lasting forever.
