Her Shield

The first kiss

She was so comfortable with me.
We would stay up all night on the phone just talking or saying nothing, but not wanting to hang up.

She was beautiful. Her lovely brown eyes that made me melt. Her smile that made my heart feel like it was about to burst from my chest. Her skin was soft and smooth. I would just hold her and care for her.

I never wanted to let her go.

She said I made her feel safe.
She loved the warmth in my arms.

We would walk in the moonlight together and just enjoy being together. She told me about her life and all the things that made her happy. I took care to memorize it all. I never forgot the things she shared.

I told her that I'd always be by her side. Whenever she needed me, she could count on me.

I held her close. An embrace we had grown to enjoy.
This time was different though.
She held me close and tight like she was scared to let go. She looked at me and I looked at her. I smiled because she was so beautiful.
Her hands pulled me close and our lips met.

The world seemed to stop and all I knew was that she was there.

It's all that mattered.
