Heat faded under a cool touch,
and green eyes flickered close
as blue ones watched carefully,
always a part of her guarded,
but yet it was all that
they needed to latch on to,
a part of themselves that only they really saw,
and a part of themselves that they were steadily falling in love with
This moment was just theirs,
and perhaps that's what made her breath catch,
and his lashes flutter in contentment,
and made two heartbeats race quickly and eagerly
Love did not need to trace out the face
nor only desire for a sweetness of rationality
She loved him
without needing to know who he was beneath the mask
He loved her
without needing to know who she was beneath the mask
She felt weightless, breathless,
under this thought,
this all encompassing feeling
that didn't care about secret identities,
and never would force their hands
to make a decision against their full joy
at just being close like this,
feeling their hearts pick their own pace together
in tandem,
and making them fall even more in love with each other,
and this feeling
that blossomed between them both.
