She was staring up at me with those big, bronze sparkling eyes. We were somewhere in a public establishment with many people and loud music. Low lighting and then there was us but I didn't know where we were and didn't really seem to care. All I cared about was her. And kissing those beautifully shaped lips of hers. But I didnt. I just stared in her eyes as she stared in mine. They looked as if they were looking for something. But for what? Comfort? Safety? Protection? Freedom? Affection? ...Love? I could give her all those things and put her gentle heart to rest but her eyes. Her eyes are like a window to her heart and soul. A bordered window guarded by a strong wall. A wall I'm willing to beat down and a bordered window im willing to take apart. Why do I feel this way about her? Someone please tell me why! I've never felt like this with a female. I'm a thug. True gangsta but soft hearted. I've never let anyone see this side of me unless you were close to me, like my mom and Chris. But something is telling me to show her that soft heart. It's making me without my doing. I'm fighting it, hard and winning. Then she kissed me, and I've completely lost. ***This is my first official book and I hope you guys read, vote, and comment. :) Please enjoy. ©Copyright. All Copyrights Reserved 2014.
