You'll never know


She is beautiful. The seed of peace and infinity sow in the azure of her eyes. I inhale her perfume as I embrace her carefully, almost hearing her heartbeat. Our song is sweet and smooth, like sailing on a day with perfect weather. I wish her endless, like the ocean that's made into one with the sky and I wish myself made into one with her. I adore her, my left hand nesting her right, then she whispers she loves me and clutches my palm. I wish she had broken my hand. I wish it had not been the faint grip I was feeling: "I will gladly break each bone in my body just to stay with you" ...but that was a long time ago. The war was in bloom and it wasn't going to stop for a foolish cadet's broken bones. So I went there and it was hell. But later I came back, and she was my heaven. She was a faithful lover. She had to let me go. Now it's my time to stay faithful and let her go.

"I love you too, sweetie" -said I- then, I proceeded to sing her part. Our song is early morning light: it makes us feel safe. It's our private little party to celebrate the fortune of being alive and together. I don't know what other way it could be. My legs begin to shake, my balance fails and I gently drift appart from her to sit down. She stretches out to me, with a speck of despair in her eyes. "But I am here, dear. You will never lose me".

She is so beautiful.
