Our fingertips met, and quickly she fell to the ground, curling up into a ball only to shudder and gag. Her nails dug deep into the earths soil, and her back arched while a soft whimper escaped her thin lips. I lost all sense of judgement. I wanted to help her. I wanted to dive into her arms and hold her, and tell her everything's going to be okay and that she needs to breathe. But I couldn't. I just froze. In silence.
Gasping to his touch, Brandon stood in front of me, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I look up at him and his eyes were singing sad symphonies.
"You're okay," His voice reassuring. His body pressed close to mine, he held me in a comforting embrace. "Everything's gonna be okay," My eyes turned to streams. I caught a handful of his shirt in my hand. I wanted him closer. I was scared to let him go. Scared to close my eyes. I needed him. I had him. I have him.
His words hushed and lulled my mind to rest.
"I love you." The words barely audible; knowing if I spoke loud enough, I would most likely break. He placed his fingertips beneath my chin, making me look up towards him.
"I love you more." His lips remained a fine line. His eyes met mine. His eyes. I loved his eyes. They were an earth brown, with seeds of green and gold surrounding the raven pupil. They shimmered and were dancing back and forth, but still focused on me. I smiled and placed my hand on the left side of his cheek, the heat from his skin was drawn to the chill of my own. I quickly break the gaze, nervously looking at his lips instead. His grip on my waist tightened gently and my fingertips found themselves dancing around the chestnut color in his hair towards the back of his neck. I wanted to say he didn't love me more, and that it was impossible. Debate about it until he kissed me and we became tangled against one another, or vice versa, but honestly there's no way in knowing. The amount of love, and knowing who was in favor was honestly inevitable. Making sure he knew I still believed that I loved him more, my smile remained and I simply shook my head.
