On Some Beach...

We walk hand in hand with the beach stretching out miles before us. The warm nights air blows back our hair while the cool water nips at our toes. He suddenly stops then uses our linked hand to pull me into his grasp. Staring me in the eyes, the softly spoken "I love you" barely makes it out before he presses his lips against mine. With a jolt of electricity, the kiss works its way around my body causing my heart to skip and my lungs to stop for a split second before I start breathing heavier. I want him forever I think only to be interrupted by another compulsive thought- I need him forever. I press my lips back against his, my True Love, my Amor, my Everything, thinking to myself this is where they belong, this is where I belong. Taking my hand, he leads me to a blanket awaiting our arrival. Sitting there holding each other everything is perfect. we cling to each other not wanting this moment to be over. Watching as the world continues around us, as the tide draws us closer, we watch as the waves crash against the stars.

"Love builds up the broken wall

and strengthens the crooked path.

Love keeps the stars in the firmament

and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides.

Each of us is created of it,

and I suspect,

each of us was created for it."

~Maya Angelou
