Your breath hung in the air on that cold winter morning. Your lips meeting the frost that grazed the tip of your nose. You wondered about life and pondered all the possibilities. Your questions bounced around like snowflakes trying to land. One by one they fell. Fell from those delicate lips I so desired to meet. Not once did you stop to look at me. You just continued proceeding, speaking as though the whole world was listening. Thought after thought. Your brain was like a jumbled puzzle that only you knew how to put together. You spoke in riddles, expecting me to understand. I think it was just a way to keep the walls around your heart built. But I wanted to try to break down your heart made of stone. I wanted to weave my way through the maze of your soul and find the person I fell in love with. Finally, my presence caught your attention. You gazed at me like I was a star that fell from the sky. You grabbed me and pressed your lips against mine and I felt like the universe had exploded. I watched your eyes as you pulled away and I saw cracks in the walls you built where there had once been solid stone. One by one I watched them crumble. Never before had you let someone get this close. I swore I wouldn’t hurt you. Protecting your heart and all that came with it. I would never forget this moment. My mind would always replay this day like a broken record. That was the day you promised me that I would be yours for infinity. *I didn’t know how long infinity meant to you, but I knew I never wanted that infinity to end.
