How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
That fear inside, ever present, always lurking underneath the surface. Waiting.
It suddenly disappeared, replaced with love and affection, feelings that shouldn't be possible for vampires, yet somehow my little bit of warmth brings them out in me.
She brings out the best in me.
I've waited ten long years for this. Ten very long years. I can sense she is afraid of me. Afraid of the being I am.
As I look at her, time freezes. I step forward, take her hand in mine, I cup her face, unsure of how to go forward. I realise she'll be with me for eternity, through the long flow of time, She may have lost everything, but we have gained each other.
I'm never letting her go. I feel her breath on my lips, little puffs of air exhaled quickly. Her cheeks are red, and she has a determined look in her eyes. She leans in and I meet her halfway.
There are no fireworks, or sparks that people so often speak of, but as my lips move on hers and our breaths mingle, it feels like coming home, and I don't intend on leaving.
I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more
