Half a Heart

"Did you not just here what I sang to you?..."

he looks to me straight in the eyes, with his interesting mixed colors. I look down, avoiding his stare.

"You're my everything"

He whispers.

"Why"

I quietly snap..

"why"

I repeat, less harsh this time.

"Because your all I need.. your perfection in its-self-"

"Bullshit"

I huff interrupting him and turning away crossing my arms over my chest.

"Steph"

he says to me softly. I want to believe him but I can't, I don't know how...

"I'm not good enough for you"

a tear slides down my left cheek but I ignore it. I start too quickly walk away leaving him behind. The snow is thicker now which means it's harder to walk through. I hear footsteps behind me and I know he's following.

I know I have a strong love for him but I'm scared.. I'm scared of every possibility that could ever happen.

"Steph"

he calls out for me and every time he does my heart hurts just a bit more.

The snow has gotten deeper. He's not that far behind I know it.

All of the sudden I'm laying in the snow on my side.

I tripped.

Shit.

"Steph!"

he calls again. Fortunately it is snow I fell in and I'm not hurt.

When I turn to lay on my back he is kneeling in front of me. "Steph" he soothes. His eyes full of emotion.

"You alright?"

I just nod in response.

He stares at me for minutes it feels like. Maybe he's expecting me to get up. Wait why haven't I gotten up yet?

But before I can he slowly climbs on top of me, straddling me. My heart instantly speeds up.  I want to kiss him so badly, all I want is him, all I ever wanted was him. My thoughts came to a halt when he collides his surprisingly warm hand with my cheek.

"I love you"

he says leaning closer.

"I love you"

he repeats.
