- What are you doing out here, so early?
-
Thinking…
- About
what?
- Things…
in general… life… us… the future…
The sun had just slit
the horizon with its razor of light, slowly colouring the sky with the first
rays in shades of yellow and vermillion.
I felt like my soul was in a peaceful mood.
He sat down by my
side on the soft white sand. The sound of the waves, my favourite soundtrack,
helped me think, making my mind wander freely…
His arm touched mine,
occasionally. His leg touched mine, occasionally. He did not say another word,
for some time. He knew me. He just waited, patiently, respecting my time and my
timing. I was not in hurry. Why would I be? I was in love and I was being loved
by the sweetest man alive… and he was sitting right there, so close to me, at
my side.
I was often emotional.
He felt it, automatically and pressed my arm, without saying a word. He knew me
so well, indeed.
That tender gesture
triggered my reactions harder and deeper. I felt warm tears running down my
face. He pulled me closer to him and embraced me, bringing my head to rest on
his chest.
- I love
you so very much…
I held his hand in mine and kissed it gently.
He smelled my hair and closed his eyes, as if trying
to hold that moment in his memory.
- Your
scent is so remarkable…
I hummed an almost
inaudible:
- You’re too sweet, my love…
- I’ve
been thinking…
- So have
I.
He took a deep breath
and held me tighter.
- Oh, my
love…
I knew exactly what
he intended to say. He did not need to speak it all out loud…
It was the same I
wanted...
