I’ve been a couple steps behind you for quite some time. I have been following your every move but not seeing who you were or what you looked like. But it didn’t matter to me.
I knew what I wanted.
Your foot prints still pressed fresh in the evening’s snow. Funny thing about them is, that they lead me straight to your front door.
Knocking gently for centuries.
The door opens for what seems like hours, heart pounding a mile a second and I can hardly breathe.
Exposure.
This is the girl I have been tracking down for all this time? She’s even more beautiful than my imagination could even fathom.
Her face lights up as though she’d been waiting for me the entire time I’ve been searching.
That smile, oh that smile.
Enough to make even the strongest man go weak.
She opens the door even wider and invites me in, almost immediately I forgot about the bitter cold that wrapped it’s boney fingers around my entire body. Everything that worried me lost it’s importance. You’re the soda to wash down the burn of the alcohol.
Inside your front door.
Am I breaking a stranger’s barriers with my charm? Because you don’t seem like a stranger at all, I feel like I’ve known you for years.
We crept closer and closer until our lips were an inch apart. Not a single word was expressed, only instincts. My heart is pounding out of my chest, palms are sweating, and breaths grow shorter. Brushing the bangs out of your eyes so I can get a better look, running my fingers down your jaw line and place your chin between my fingers only to pull your lips up to my own.
Contact.
Engulfed in the birds flapping their wings inside of me, Lifting me off of my feet.
I have been numb for so long I didn’t know I was even capable of feeling anything anymore. And no, I’m not talking about the cold. There is chemistry here only we can understand.
Be my babe.
