Summary: Fate led me here... to your side. Love Everlasting...

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't alone. In my arms was my lover. My first
lover, the man who will be my only lover. He looked so innocent, so angelic, his head
nestled between my breasts. A contrast of his midnight locks and my pale ivory skin.

I Love Him

How long ago did we meet? Four years? Five? Perhaps six? When I met him, I
knew at once that he was the one whose life I would share. Destiny had surely led me
here.

I Love Him

Those years leading up to now are my sweetest treasures. We spent as much
time together as we possibly could, despite the fact that duty often led us on separate
paths. But when our work was over, the paths would always lead us back to each
other. Mixed with the ecstasy of simply being in the presence of the one you love,
however, was the agony of knowing that the feelings we had could not be acted upon.
It wasn't time.

I Love Him

Being patient was hard, but we knew that acting before the time was right would
hurt us both. There was a time when I almost lost control, when we almost lost control.
One night, my beloved came to my side and gave me a kiss. I have been kissed before,
but this was unlike any of those times. When my old boyfriend kissed me I felt warm,
safe, yet I never lost touch with the world around me; this was beyond all I had known
before. Passion. Desire. There was no one in the world but the two of us. The kiss
deepened, my emotions were a swirling kaleidoscope. I stepped away before we did
something that we both would regret. That night, I lay awake in my bed, wanting
more. A voice whispered to me, "Not yet."

I Love Him

Years passed. He matured; I matured; our love matured. Then, last night...

I Love Him

As I was getting for bed, he appeared at my door. "I am no longer a child," he
said. It was true; he now stood taller than me, his voice had deepened, rich and pure. I
smiled as he walked towards me. Gently, tenderly, he kissed my lips and lifted my small
body into his arms. We came to his bedroom and he set me on his bed. My beloved
spoke. "For you, I would wait an eternity."

I Love Him

What happened last night was indescribable. Never did I feel so real, so loved as
I did at that moment. Any pain and loneliness I had ever felt in my life melted away. I
had found the place where I belonged. That place was in his arms.

I Love Him

The early morning sunlight shines through the curtains as I write this. In bed,
beside me, my lover sleeps. His bangs fall in front of his eyes. He is beautiful. He is
mine. He is Eriol.

I Love Him

My lover mutters sweet words in his sleep. I love the sound of him saying my
name; I love the sound of the word preceding it even more. "Aishiteru, Kaho."

He Loves Me
