A Collection of Letters for My One & Only

II

Dear best friend, partner, companion;

The week I spent with you when I visited, I remember vividly the night I dropped my strong faced façade and showed you my vulnerability.

I remember sitting next to you, barely able to hold your hand, staring up at the different expressions that graced your face when you were talking about something that you were passionate about and looking away when you look at me. That night, I lost all grasp of reality and was completely enchanted by only you.

I regret that I don't remember what you were speaking about but my focus was lost and replaced with your presence and melodic voice.

Through that night, I was fighting myself to whether or not give you my first kiss.

I was so nervous that you could read my thoughts as they were screaming in my mind. I was afraid that you would notice how clammy my hands were becoming. I thought for sure that you would catch me staring and realize how deep in thought and thoughtless I was.

Soon though, as you looked to the wall once more, I lost all control, all thoughts of reality, of my nervous state of being, and I took an opportunity that presented itself to me.

I looked up and leaned forward, placing a kiss on your cheek before burring my reddening face into your shoulder. I giggled out of anxiousness while you asked if that had happened as we were both in shock. Then after seconds of a painful wait, you asked to place a kiss upon my cheek in return.

I mindlessly but happily obliged while giggling and lifted my face for you to reach. Your lips felt soft and delicate like the fluffy clouds aimlessly floating in the blue sky.

When you leaned away, I didn't realized how much I wanted more until I turned and leaned in after you immediately after.

I felt your lips on mine but I didn't dare move but waited to see how you would react. I waited for you to lean away and realize who you were kissing but instead, you leaned in closer and reciprocated my kiss.

After minutes in the kiss, my body started to relax into and I knew I never wanted this to end and to have it all with you by my side.

I regret nothing and cherished it all my love.

~Forever yours, Avery Fawkes
