He stared at me and I couldn't look his way.
My fingers so tightly intertwined I couldn't pry them apart if I tried.
I could not meet his gaze even when he spoke my name.
I would lose it certainly and then he would know assuredly.
He then spoke to me again so softly I had no choice but to look.
What I saw there was acceptance and undivided attention.
We were here together in this cold prison not knowing our fate.
Thinking that it may be our last night together.
He laid all my fears to rest, as he leaned in and pressed a kiss upon my lips.
I closed my eyes feeling his warm breath.
We separated and stared into each others eyes.
Today was the day of truth, and we were determined that it would not end here.
A future was to begin for us, we believed it so.
Freedom came moments later.
The truth set us free.
