Without You
He looked down at her, naked in his bed, except for the sheet wrapped around her. He had never seen anyone so beautiful, she showed up at his door last night soaking wet and told him it was him. She only wanted him. He wanted to reach out and brush the hair from her eyes, wake her, tell her how beautiful she was, tell her how much he loved her, and make love to her all over again but he was scared. Scared that she would leave. Scared that she didn't mean it, that it was a moment of weakness after almost losing her life.
"Hey you," she stirred.
"Hey," he whispered, "I didn't mean to wake you."
He was staring at her again. She told him before how creepy it was but this time she didn't seem to mind. Tears were forming in his eyes. "Before you say anything," he started, "you have to know, this wasn't a one night thing for me. I meant what I said. I love you, Kate. When I told you I was done, it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I spend every day right by your side, if I could stop time just to spend more time with you I would. Each moment you're gone, is a moment too long in my life, so please, please stay with me right here.
She looked at him, tears forming in her own eyes, "I'm not going anywhere Rick. I meant what I said last night too, I only want you. I love you. I'm so sorry it took me so long to realize it.
He pulled her close brushing his lips across hers, "Good. Because without you, I'm a disaster. I've known since the moment I met you that you're the one, Kate, you're my ever after. I just need you to say you'll stay with me tonight…forever, because I die every moment you're away from me.
She was still crying as she moved to straddle his waist, leaning down to kiss him deeply, trying to pour all her emotions into that kiss, letting him know she wasn't going anywhere. "I love you," she emphasized, "I'm not going anywhere. Ever. Unless you want me too."
"Never, Kate. My heart breaks with every beat, I can't even explain what you do to me. I don't want you to leave, ever."
She leaned down to kiss him again, smiling against his lips, "then I'll be right here. Always."
