Oh, that.
Like it was nothing.
Just "Something neither of us can admit
given our working
relationship and military ranks."
Like
it hadn't occupied my every waking thought for the past
several
years.
Every time I looked at her.
Every time I stared into her beautiful eyes.
Even every time she
dazzled my brain with things I couldn't begin to
get.
Whenever
we went through that gate, I was terrified that something
would
happen, that I would lose her.
And I wanted to tell her.
How much I loved her.
More than my own life.
How I wanted to keep her by my side.
Always.
But not like this.
Not in front of everyone.
With a stupid damn machine recording
what should be just between the
two of us.
Better than never, I guess.
Here goes.
