Smile

We are walking together down a snowy road.

I watch you silently and wish this road would never end.

You turn your kind face to me, smiling. Your smile can reach even my cold heart, so often devoid of feelings.

I just want to grab on you and kiss you softly on the lips.

All of suddenly the snow starts falling; small snowflakes landing on both of us.

I can see you shivering slightly, from the cold.

For a moment I just watch you, before I silently place my arms around your shivering shoulders, and whisper, "I could take us home."

But you just let out a small laugh, while you watch me, smiling.

My heart is warming up. I just want stay with you, forever.

Is that too much to ask?

I've never felt like this before; this warmness and this happiness. You reached my heart with your smile and warmed it.

Silently, you take your umbrella and open it.

You give me a quick look, which makes me nervous and anxious. I cannot control my feelings like I usually do.

Because you touched with your love for me, making me shiver like I was ill. Your look teases me, making me want you more and more.

Your cold actions towards me make me ashamed and slightly sad.

Did I hurt you?

If I did, I do not wish to live anymore!

You are more than the air that I breathe; you are my special flower that I want to hold, touch and kiss.

Yes, will you allow me to kiss you? Just once.

It would turn out to be my very first one and probably last. If you allowed me to kiss you, I could die from happiness.

"Stop dreaming, silly!" You laugh at me, looking at me with your beautiful eyes.

Suddenly you turn and run from me, when I try reach towards you and tell you how I truly feel.

But, what if you didn't feel the same way as I do?

I would fall down and down into a deep river from which I would never rise again. I would creep under my blanks and let out a silent cry.

But would you feel the same as I do?

I have never felt like this before;

I'm scared.

I'm scared I'll lose you and you will just laugh at my feelings.

I want to touch you and kiss you.

I want make you my own, but I'll still let you leave if you want.

I love you!

You're looking now surprised, your lips slowly parting, for a yell or maybe a cry? Did I say that aloud? Please, respond to my feelings…Don't…

"Eh…Thank you. I…Heh!" You say to me, laughing slightly, turning your back to me, dropping your umbrella down to the ground.

Then you turn to me, smiling your warm smile.

"I love you too!" You yell and then rush towards me, like wings had grown on your back.

You rise up to the tips of your toes, looking me in an adorable way.

My breath comes slower when I realize something: you really love me.

"The snowing ended…" You whisper softly, when I lean against you.

Our lips touch each other's, making me feel your warmth and your deep love for me.

When we finally separate from each other, your cheeks are little bit red from blushing.

Then you say again to me those four beautiful words:

"I love you too."
