>Prologue<
The three simple words trail off my lips.
They run away from my mouth to his
Listening ears
And trace patterns of stars between us.
The words are still fresh on my tongue
As a small smile illuminates my face,
Watching,
Waiting
For his reaction.
He stands tall and shocked at what I just
Whispered.
Surprise washing across him.
His strong features,
The lovely beaches that hold my heart,
Crinkle in drowning thoughts.
Rare words sinking into his mind.
And my heart keeps running laps.
beat
beat...
beat
beat...
beat
beat.....
Remembering that it is just us two.
Here.
Alone.
Alone...
He looks up into my blue eyes to see hope
Pooling inside.
My muscles clench and unclench
At the way he looks inside me.
clench, unclench, clench.
Like he can vacuum out all my secrets
And wildest dreams with
just
one
look.
His eyes just take me away..
He searches the ground for the perfect
Reply.
The gravel road giving no hints.
His eyes wander up my frame and
Settle on my freckled face.
Goosebumps polka-dotting my fair skin.
He runs his muscled hand through his
Dark black hair.
The ruffled spikes poking out in odd
Directions.
He turns,
Away from me.
Hiding the hidden emotions.
The ones covered by curtains.
The ones covered by steel.
Maybe the thunderclouds that roam the
Sky above is how he sees me.
Reckless,
out of control,
unstable.
Or I'm like summer.
A gentle breeze,
a lovely daisy,
a clear
blue sky.
And a breathtaking ride.
I watch his hands fall to his sides.
And he faces me.
His nose squeezes up and he looks down
At my hands.
My tiny, delicate hands.
His large, bold hands
Place mine
in his.
Now gazing up,
Into me.
He grins his beautiful grin.
He starts to clear his throat but the
Rain interrupts him.
We both look up.
Dark clouds
Descend
Upon
Us.
Thunder booms.
Fists pound the ground.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Lightning strikes.
Glass cracking across the skies.
The clouds
Brim with tears.
Blessed tears that quench the
Earth's desperate thirst.
And the ground rumbles in applause.
He turns my face away from the sky.
To his bold, blue eyes.
Holding my shaking body in his warmth.
Then the five words,
The five words I have been dreaming to hear,
tumble out his lips.
" I
Love
You
Too,
Ingrid "
and my world turns beautifully
bright.

A/N Hey people! This story has been in my heart for a while now and I've decided to share it.
The prologue will probably be the only poem in the story, including maybe a few others for dramatic effect. But the chapters will mostly be in paragraph form. I'm so super duper excited! Also, I know there are a lot of romance stories on wattpad but this isn't going to be like the ooie-gooie cliches. I promise! ;)
I hope you love it! Comment your thoughts below! I love to hear them <3
