It was the faintest glimpse of a fantasy. The slightest memory of a pleasent scent. Something you can't see, only feel.
Could dreams come true? Could it happen?
The most gentle caress. The warmest touch. A cool breeze on a summer day. A twinkle in the eye of fate.
Was it happening? Life can be such a let down, truth so cruel.
She dare not hope.
But oh!
His eyes, his touch. Those beautiful lips part. He speaks, but she does not hear the words. Music, instead, fills her ears.
How does it happen? One moment, life is life, a steady and predictable thing. The next, everything is different. The world is upside down, the laws of nature don't apply.
She could fly. Run to the horizon, no matter how long it took, she would not get tired. He filled her.
If only he didn't make her knees so weak.
Every color of the rainbow and those beyond didn't begin to cover what she saw.
When he looked at her, she felt drawn in. She had been lost at sea for so long, but he was her life raft. Her saviour.
And when she looked into his eyes, she saw herself, more truely than ever before.
And when he smiled, she knew he felt the same.
