Realization.
It was then when I realized that I loved her. It took only a split second for me to realize how deeply that woman had woven herself into my soul. A simple sweeping back of my hair and a soft kiss placed on the base of my neck told me all I needed to know.
I turned to face those eyes. Oh those marvelous green eyes that makes my heart melt, and my legs shake. A smile played upon her lips because she knew what those eyes did to me, what they could make me do for her. Slowly I reached out, and tucked a piece of golden hair behind her ear, and I smiled to myself when I saw her eyes flutter shut.
How could I have just barely fallen in love with her? Or had I loved her for longer yet was afraid to admit it? I didn't really understand why I was so afraid to fall in love with the green eyed beauty that sat in front of me, leaning into my touch. She was so gentle, so kind and loving… so beautiful.
I found myself slowly leaning into her, touching my forehead with hers, then our noses. I could feel her light breathing play on my lips and feel a smile threatening to spread itself on her face. When I finally bucked up the courage that I needed, I finally closed the gap and crossed the few millimeters that actually separated our lips.
When we parted from our small embrace I met those emerald orbs with my own brown and managed to say what it was that was on my mind. A simple, I love you
