"I'm afraid of falling"
She whispered
Her voice muffled
By his soft, blue t shirt.
She didn't want to forget this,
Not the way he smelled,
Or the way his greenish-brown eyes looked at her,
Or the way his smile was crooked and perfect.
"I'll catch you"
He promised
As he made her look at him
And wiped the silent tears
Off her pale, soft cheeks.
In the moment
He vowed to lover her
And protect her
From the pain he could cause.
He kissed her lips
As tasted the salty tears of fear
As he looked into her green, watery eyes
And she looked in his light brown, dry eyes
And they said
In unexpected unison
"I love you"
And they fell far and hard
Into a black hole of the unknown.
