The Promise

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Not really."

"What makes you say that?"

"'Cause you were the only thing that pressed inside my mind on the day that you and I met, on this very spot and time. Your's was the only one I could see, not only that, I could feel it giving me warmth inside."

"My what? What do you mean?"

"Your light. The light that came from your heart. It sparked so brightly that I could see the shine from your heavenly eyes. Heh, you could say that I've seen a whole new color in the world. And of all the colors that I could have discovered, it was your's that touched my heart."

She turned her head away, trying to hide the smile that had grown from her beauty. She knew that I was aware of what she was trying to do. I felt the calm, and cool breeze blowing. The sun shimmering it's orange light at us, and the shore line was slowly dying down as the night grew stronger.

"Are you done smiling there?"

"I guess so. My eyes are watering now, does that mean anything?" She turned and faced me, and I wiped the tears off of her face gently.

"Hey, stop crying, I'll be back. You know it."

"Why do you have to go, isn't it dangerous?"

"I know, but I'll make it back."

She embraced me and I felt her tears dropped on my shoulder, and she whispered to my ear. "Promise me you'll come back?"

I embraced her as tightly, and replied. "I promise."
