Pretty Little Mistake.
I can't hold on to you, you slip from my hands. Slipping, ever slipping, like tiny grains of sand. Away from my heart, my head, & my demands.
Oh, look. Such a pretty little mistake I make, every time I enter you. You clench around me, begging me to stay, even as I go out, only to enter again. Once I longed to kill you, see your blood upon my hands. Now...now I could never hope to live without you. Without your life surrounding me. Filling me. Becoming mine.
All of you is mine. Your heart is mine, I treasure & covet it as if it were beating in my own chest. Your soul belongs with mine. Or rather, my soul belongs with yours. Without it, I'm afraid, I would be nothing more than I was before.
Bakemono.
Monster.
Hair the color of bubble gum surrounds me & eyes of meadow green fill my sight. You may belong to me, but you are all that I am. You are all that I could ever hope for. When I hear the words that are what I long to hear, I know that I could not be I, if you could not be you.
"I love you." you sigh into my ear, making my heart tighten even harder.
'I love you.', I think. But when I open my mouth to say the words, you cover my lips with your fingers, then cover them with your own. I smile softly, kissing you back. I should have known. You can not only read my mind, but you read my heart so very easily. You need no words to know what I feel. But I do. I need you to hear it.
"I love you, Sakura."
You smile & kiss the scarlet love kanji on my forehead. "I know."
I can't resist whispering in your ear as I trace the shell with my tongue. "Do you know how long?"
"Forever?" you ask, your eyes shining with hope.
"Forever." It comes out as a moan as we both climax, then curl up in each other's arm. 'Yes, forever, my pretty little everything.'
