I was lying there on the ground with her head on my chest under the cool shade of the pale sun...
A moment of true and unparalleled happiness...
All I ever wanted was with me....
I was complete...
For the first time in my life it felt as if I need nothing...
Swirling my hand through her soft hair I asked her,
'Does it frighten you?
All this?'
She frowned at me with a bewildered face.
'Why would this be frightening?
Isn't all this we ever wanted?'
She said.
I was aware I was going to ruin a completely perfect moment.
'You see,
That's the point.
We have what we've ever wanted.
All this is too good to be true.'
I said after a short pause.
Again she was failing to get hold of the perplexed situation.
She got herself up and sat in front of me,looked me in the eyes and said,
'Look,all of this although too good,is real.
This is happening.
Here.
Feel it?'
She took my hand and kissed it.
She was clearly sad from seeing my all of the sudden sad face.
I looked at her with a flare in my eyes,
'That's the problem...
He gives you all this when He's about to take the one dearest to you...
Every animal is loved and rewarded the most,before the day of sacrifice...'
I said as I left her speechless and shattered.
I hugged her tight and took her close to me...
'I won't let that happen.
I won't let anyone take you away from me...'
I said as I held her there knowing I've challenged the inevitable...
