She was the only real thing in the world, Max, and as I held her in my arms, I felt her soft gentle touch, her tongue slowly and gently begging my mouth for entrance. The scent of her sweet smelling hair. The way her eyes glinted in the light, and when the sun shone on them, they became two miniature suns themselves, lighting my world. Her gentle yet firm embrace. Her lightly freckled shoulders. They all added up to make her perfect, just perfect. I don't know why it's taken me so long to realise this. Her soft lips parted with mine for a moment, and she pulled away slightly.

'I could die right now max' I whispered to her.

'I could die right now and I would die happy'. She looked at me, her penetrating eyes staring right through me.

'Don't'
