A Drop From The Sea

Would You?

You stared at me longingly. I could sense your emotion simply from it yet I couldn't help myself but to turn away. I knew I was a coward.

I felt my hand being held. I looked at you slowly with doubt in my eyes. I saw your gentle eyes, staring at me with love.

Again, I looked away. I wasn't brave enough to face you.

"Please," I heard you speak. "Let me."

I shook my head slowly. "I can't."

"Why?"

"I simply can't."

You tightened your hold. "Please, I'm begging you."

"Why? Why won't you just let me go?"

"I don't want to."

"Stop," I tried to take back my hand. "Let me go. Please."

"I won't."

"Will you accept who I am?!" I asked angrily.

"I will!"

"Will you even stay by my side?!"

"I will!" I looked straight to your eyes and saw determination in them.

I stayed silent. Thinking on what should I do. I could feel my lips slightly trembling.

I realized that you softened your gaze.  I bit my lips. I raised my other hand, reaching for your neck.

You widened your eyes. I saw your determination slowly changed into fear. I pressed the knife slightly to your neck.

I started to smile. "Now, would you..."

You let go of my hand but I immediately held yours, making sure that you wouldn't run from me.

"Live for me and me only?"
