Blame It On My Conscience

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters… blah blah blah… I do own the plot and idea put into the story…

My conscience fails me as I lie down beside you and fall hopelessly into your arms. You reach for my face and tuck a stray strand of unruly brown hair behind my ear. How I've waited so long for you to hold me like this—those many nights I've wished for you to come take me…

I know it's wrong to want something you can never have, and I know it's not right to keep dreaming when you know it will never come…

but tonight I will want, wish, dream, and pray that this moment would never end—this moment of complete bliss and perfect contentment…

Adrenaline pumps harder through my veins and my heart runs faster when you pull me close. Your silver eyes pierce into me like the sharp end of a crisp metal sword as you lean in, holding me tighter, moving in to lock your lips with mine. And, in a sudden explosion of emotion, a taste hundred times sweeter than candy courses through my whole body, trickling into every inch of my soul, and relinquishing any doubt I had in your sincerity…

You run a hand through your blonde tresses just as we let go of that momentary surrender. You kiss my forehead goodnight, and I close my eyes to sleep… but before I drift away, you whisper gently in my ear those three words I never thought I would hear. My world stops spinning and a tear rolls down my cheek. Finally, I found the place where I truly belong. No more searching, no more waiting, no more yearning, no more hurting. I knew I was safe in your embrace, and I never wanted to let go.

I finally found my superman—the one who would fly me off into eternity, fight away all my demons, hold me until forever…

"I love you too," I whispered back, and I opened my eyes to see you, but all that laid in front of me was my old teddy bear and an alarm clock that read 2:03 in the morning. The red velvet curtains that hung from my four-poster were drawn back, and a pale moonlight shone through the window…

It was all another dream.

Once again my conscience failed me as I lied down beside you and fell hopelessly into your arms… I know it was wrong to want something I could never have, and I know it was not right to keep dreaming when I know it would never come…

but that night, I wanted, I wished, I dreamt, and I prayed that that moment would never end—that moment of complete bliss and perfect contentment…

I know I shouldn't have, but I did… and I was happy…

So blame my conscience for not being strong enough to push you away, but every night, I will dream about you—about dreaming with you—about being with you…

for only in my dreams can I ever be near you…
