Tame Our Love

I lit my first cigarette of that warm summers night. The sun had just begun to set and the vibrant red tones that bled through the sky reflected onto my bare face. The heat of the falling sun was nothing compared to the warmth I felt inside at this very moment. I took a deep inhale and the sharp taste of menthol awoke me from the daydream I was experiencing. But this time I wasn't just another day dream.

I looked to my left side and he was looking directly onto the isolated roads that lay before us. I could see my face in the reflection of his aviator sunglasses.
I think he knew I was gazing at him at this point because he had a smug smile on his face that oozed confidence, whilst he took his rugged hands of the accelerator and placed a soft grip on my right leg. At this point only a small fragment of dim sunlight was peering from the distance and all I could think about was him embracing me and telling each other how much we adored one another .. But it wasn't as simple as that.
