You continue to hold me, despite my confession, despite the betrayal.

"I know."

It reverberates in me. You knew. I meet your hazel eyes.

I feel the love. I feel the acceptance. Oh goddess!


I say it and you retract slightly.

Brown eyes meet mine. Regret flashes in them.

I move my hand to your cheek and I see the love slowly creep back into you.

I see the change. We can fix this. I know the odds are in our favor.
