fingers

She often uses the tip of her two little fingers to crawl up and down my skin and i'd find it irresistible as ever. Her hand fits in mine like it's made just for me. I kiss her cheek, proving that this moment really exists.

We wandered around the forest, she wanted to go exploring even though she's basically known all the steps her whole life being here. A little part of me felt upset because it meant this place was slowly growing out on her.

Please don't ever take her away from me.

I have forgotten how it felt to not have y/n with me. I can't ever imagine one day that she isn't. I don't think I could ever live without her.

If I even am alive.

I love her. I can't stress that enough. There's just something inside me that wants her. That needs her. She rests her head on my shoulder as we continued walking. Soon, we reached a nearby waterfall.

Fuck.

Before I could try to convince her to turn back, she let go of my arm as she runs up to touch the water. "Whoa.." she plays with the water falling from the rock from above.

I knew what this meant. I knew that it would come to this. Am I ready to let go? No. Not yet. Not like this. Why did the grey sky show no expression when the rain was pouring in my heart?

Ive come across this before. I know what the waterfall holds beyond its rushing liquids and I'm afraid. Afraid she'll succumb to its beauty and soon it'll become irresistible. I have to do something. I can't let her leave me.

I rushed over to her who was now trying to drink the pure river. As soon as I got to her, I wasted no time to pull her up against me. Her body slammed against my chest and her hand was on my shoulder, trying to balance herself from my sudden force.

I immediately pressed my lips firmly onto hers. She was slightly taken aback but copied me as her arms took ahold of my neck.

I melted into the way she tasted that I almost completely forgot why I was trying to distract her. That's her power, she makes me forget all the little things that are going wrong in this world. Almost like we were the only ones left.

And we are.

She pulled away and I hesitated to attach our lips again as I wanted more. She smiled, "What was that for?"

She has one of those smiles where even the sun has no effect on you anymore. It just brings complete light into my life.

Who needs the sun when I have you?

"Just because," I shrugged as I chuckled, slightly embarrassed at what I was thinking in my mind. I looked down at our feet that was almost touching each other.

She cupped my cheeks into her small palms and brought my face back up to look at her. How could she just openly do that when I'm all shy over one little kiss?

"I love you," she whispered and my eyes widened. She had never told me this before. My heart clenched up as I felt like I was going to pass out any moment. I couldn't quite make out what was going on in her head. What could she be thinking about?

With only a little pause, I put my hands over hers that were still on my cheeks. I looked deep into her curious eyes.

"And I love you," I said as I meant every word. A hint of pink was shown on her chubby cheeks and I kissed her forehead before heading back. As I intertwined her small fingers with mine, I turned around to look at the waterfall again before sadness took over me.

That was close.
