Remain
*Sequel to Linger* His arms wrapped around my back, holding me close and I never wanted him to let go. He said he couldn't fix this mess but little did he know that just the touch of his lips on mine made all of my troublesome thoughts fade away. He kissed me so gently as if being so careful not to ruin this delicate moment between us. And it was in this moment I realized only he could make me feel this way. And no matter how hard I tried to stay away or put up my guard, I would always find myself drawn back to him. To the way he made me feel -- like it was all going to be okay. To the way he cared for me and held me like I meant everything to him. And I couldn't resist. He was my remedy and my weakness all at once. All Rights Reserved.
