P.O.V Eli

You're so close I can practically taste your lips on mine. My mind is racing but I can't complete a thought. My heart accelerates with every second that we stare in to each other's eyes.

And it surprises me how innocent you still are considering how much I've corrupted you. I inhale the scent of your cinnamon hair and instantly feel intoxicated.

Your small, warm hands comb through the hair on the back of my neck, while mine hold tightly around your waist making sure there is no space between us.

We are in a deep silence but we don't mind because were content with just holding on to each other. I place a strand behind your ear and gently hold your cheek in my hand, my thumb lightly brushing your soft skin.

You smile blissfully at this gesture. My feelings for you haven't changed and I know I've said this a million times before but this time seems different somehow. I put in all the emotions I have right now with all the truth in the world say, "I love you".

The sparkles in your eyes brighten as they glaze over with an immense amount of joy and care.

"I love you too Eli" You reply back in the same passionate tone as me. I'm on cloud 9 with you.

It's like we can come down from this massive high that's come over us. We know life won't let us stay like this forever so we'll make it last as long as possible.

I lean down the last inch or two finally capturing your lips on mine. For some no matter how close we get it's not close enough. It was like if we let go for just one second the other would disappear. We can't pull apart because all we can think about is the moment at hand.

We part slightly and breathe heavily. I put my forehead to yours and our noses touch. You stare into my eyes once more and it's as if I see into your soul. You're full of beauty, smarts and serenity.

It makes me think of how different we really are. I would do anything for you. You are the sun that brightens my day. Even at night it's not all dark because you, Clare Edwards, light the moon.
