English is not my first language so spelling/ grammar
mistakes may occur.

Feeling lost.
Aching.
Getting harder to breathe.
I went to him to find a shoulder to cry on.
I came to be held.
I came to hear that I had done the right thing.
I came to be saved.
It was dark outside as I banged on the door to the diner.
Night.
He appeared in the doorway.
His hair was in a mess.
Tired eyes.
He rubbed his eyes and said:
"It's two a clock in the morning."
I brushed past him.
He shut the door after me and looked at me.
I wanted to say something.
Explain.
Wanting to cry.
"I broke up with Max."
His face changed in a second.
Compassion.
Sorrow.
He walked towards me.
HOLD ME! PLEASE, HOLD ME!
I couldn't say those words out load.
I just couldn't.
His eyes pierced into me.
Seeing everything.
Understanding.
He took me into his arms without question.
I rested my head against his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry."
"I just couldn't..."
I broke free from him and sat down on a chair.
My legs wouldn't carry me.
He sat down beside me.
Silence followed.
I knew that he wouldn't force me to talk.
It felt so nice to know that he was there for me.
To have him.
Know that he would catch me if I fell.
"I don't think I ever loved him."
"Lorelai, you don't.."
"I loved him. But I was never IN love with him. Do you know what I
mean?"
His dark eyes looked into mine and I felt...
Safe.
"When I was a child I imagined a great love. The kind of love that
you read about. That last a lifetime...I want that...."
He took my hand.
"I know you do."
"I want someone that really knows me. Everything about me. What kind
of music I like, favorite food, what kind of movies that makes me
cry and what makes me laugh. Everything. Someone that can stay up
all night just to see what I look like when I sleep....Oh, I know
it sounds silly. But I want that...All of that..."
He reached for me.
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him.
Surrendering in his arms.
I rested my head against his chest and continued:
"I thought I had found that. Someone...Real. I wanted so desperately
that he would be the ONE that I ignored. everything..."
He stroked my hair.
Calming my heart.
"He asked me to marry him. I wanted...to be..."
"I know."
"But I couldn't. I couldn't....God, how could I be so ..."
"Lorelai..It's okay."
"No. I'm a horrible person."
"No, you're not."
I broke free from him.
"I led him on...I made him believe.."
"You did the right thing."
"What?"
"You took a chance. You let your heart guide you and for a brief
moment.."
"But..I failed...Don't you see that...Once again. I'm a horrible
person. Failure, that's me."
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at him.
He framed my face between his hands and made me look at him.
"Please, don't cry. You're a wonderful person. You're the strongest
and the bravest person I know. Look at you...You're perfect.
You can get through this."
"I don't know if I can."
He smiled.
Then he leaned in and kissed away my tears.
His lips against my skin send chills down my spine.
Trembling.
"Yes, you can. I'll be here.."

---------------

She was so close that I could almost sense the scent of her hair.
Beautiful.
Beauty.
I knew that I should let go her.
But I couldn't.
I needed her.
Wanting.
Longing.
Desire ate at my heart.
I lowered my mouth to hers and brushed my lips against hers.
Wanting just a taste.
Just a little.
It could last me a lifetime.
But I knew in the minute her lips touched mine that I was lost.
She didn't object.
She didn't push me away.
She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me to her.
I sighed.

---------------------------

I wanted this.
Him.
Everything.
I shivered a bit as I felt him running his
tongue against my lips.
I opened and let him in.
I could feel myself crumble as our tongues met.
Desire.
Longing.
Wanting everything at once.
Him.
Luke.
He pulled away from me.
Lifted me up.
On strong arms.
He carried me up to his apartment and laid me
down on his bed.
I refused to be afraid.
I will not fear the future.
Never again.
Needed this.
Him.
I reached for him.

---------------------

I went to her with out hesitation.
Maybe this is wrong.
I don't know.
Maybe this will only cause me heartache.
But as I looked into her eyes I knew that didn't really matter.
For once in my life I listened to my heart.
I moved slowly.
Wanting to see her.
All of her.
No words were needed.
I lowered my mouth to hers.
Tasting.
Remembering.
Feeling.
I unbuttoned her shirt slowly.
Her skin seems to glow in the moonlight as I push her shirt apart.
My hands tremble a bite as I touch the sensitive skin over her
heart.
I had imagined this for so long now.
I lowered my mouth and let my lips taste her skin.

-----------------------

All sanity were lost as his mouth touched the sensitive skin on
my neck and chest.
Madness.
Desire ran like poison through my veins.
I surrendered as he removed my bra.
I tore at his clothes.
Wanting to feel him against me.
His hands were warm as he ran his hands up my stomach.
I whisper his name into the night as his lips
find their way to my breasts.
Madness.
Heaven and hell all wrapped into one.
I sighed as his naked chest touched mine.
Wanting to taste him.
Everything.
Feeling.
Tasting.
Wanting.
Living.

----------------

I wanted to etch every part of her into my memory.
I painted her with my lips and hands.
Tracing.
Loving her with my hands.
Aching for her touch.
My body screamed for her.
Her hands on my body made me tremble inside.
Wanting to feel her.
All of her.
Be inside her.
Own her.
Melting.
Her eyes were dark as I parted her legs.
She called my name into the dark as I touched the center of her
being.
Searching.
Exploring.
Burning hot.
All reason went out the window as her hand went down,
down,
down.
Losing control.
Lost.
I entered her with her sigh.
Whispering her name.
Whispering words of love.
She reached for me, wanting me closer.
We melted together.
Perfect together.
She was all around me.
Everywhere.
Occupying every sense.
Reaching ecstasy at the same time.
We fell.
Falling.
We went to heaven and beyond.
-----------------------------

I woke slowly.
He was still sleeping beside me.
It was still dark outside as I slipped from his arms.
Wanting to run away.
Again.
From him.
Everything.
Luke.
I dress in the moonlight.
I want to stay.
With him.
Feeling lost.
I haven't got everything figured out.
Needing time.
To find my way.
Back to sanity.

------------------

An empty space beside woke me.
My bed felt so cold.
She was gone.
I rose.
Wanting to find her.
Talk to her.
Kiss her.
Love her.
I called her name into the morning sun.
Silence met me.
Pain.
Doubting.
I refused to surrender.
Not yet.
She will come back to me.
I had to believe that.
