He came in behind me, closed the door gently and leaned up against it.
I can't face him.
It is as though I have been holding it in inside me for so long now.
Like lightning, the realisation suddenly hits me, if I turn around and look into those endless blue eyes of his, I will come undone.
Everything will come undone.
His words echoing in my mind, I know what he is waiting for, what he needs from me.
There is no turning back.
"Do you?"
Do I?
The split second in-between the silence of those words brings the memory of a boy to my mind.
A boy who is angry and impulsive .A boy who is lonely and lost and beyond reckless.
I hold my breath, turn and our eyes meet.
A boy who is passionate and who loves so deeply. A boy who risks his life to saves others, who doesn't lie to hide the truth.
A boy who can lie down next to someone and just watch them sleep and hold their promise to never leave their side.
A boy who would choose someone else's happiness over his own.
And without a shadow of a doubt I know.
"I do"
