One month later:

I wake up and feel secure in his arms. I look over, his dark hair messy, his nostrils slightly flaring, matching his slow, breathing pattern as he sleeps.

I snuggle up close to him, my face to his chest listening to his heart beat like it's reassuring me he's alive and he's okay.

Both of our bodies are covered by the silky blankets, yet I can see his silhouette from the sun slightly peering in through the blinds. The slight sunlight allows me to admire his beautiful features, the way he has a slight grin on his face as he sleeps, his soft fluffy hair and the small beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

His soft, plump lips, softer than dough.. I can't think of anything better to do than kiss them... I trace my hand along his cheekbones and bring them down to his biceps.

I lightly press a kiss to his cheek, and close my eyes for a moment. When I open them, his eyes are fluttering open and a smile spreads across his face, his gorgeous grey eyes staring back at me.

I press my chest against his, my heart beat synching with his. I take his hand and intertwine it with mine. I'm in love with him and as much as it scares me, it also excites me because I've never felt like this before. I'm scared he doesn't feel the same way but.. When I wake up and he looks at me with such love and adoration I can't help but think he feels the same way. ''Good morning beautiful'' his raspy morning  voice says. I tuck a strand of hair behind his ear and say ''you're the beautiful one.'' His laughter fills the air and I find it adorable that he thinks I'm joking when I call him beautiful because to me, he is the most gorgeous man in the world. I love everything about this man. The sound of his laugh is my favorite noise, his smile being my favorite sight and his strong body my favorite to touch and hold. He leans down and kisses me. My eyes begin to water but not from sadness nor from fear but from pure euphoria. This man is my happy place, wherever he is, is my home. I'll be okay as long as I'm with him. I never was such a romantic until I met him, he brings out sides of me I never knew existed. I'll never truly get over the fact that I am his and he is mine.

Tv shows and movies always spoke about how painful love is, about heartbreak but why didn't they ever mention these parts? I always feared falling in love but now that I'm in it I'm not so scared because I trust him. Love isn't just filled with pain, it's filled with tons of joy, excitement, adoration and even more than you could ever imagine. There's a reason for all those love songs, because when love works out it's pretty damn amazing.

I need to tell him.

I need to tell him that I love him.. And right now, seems like the perfect moment to, I cant wait a second longer.
