Now
I've waited so long to have you in my arms, so long to feel the warmth of your skin against my hand, so very long to see you smile and hear you laugh.
Now
Why then, do you deny me the pleasure of your affections when I know that you ache for me as I ache for you? Why do you leave me cold and alone when I know that you love me as I have always and will forever love you?
Now
I'd do anything for you. I've done the impossible, been to heaven and hell, found heaven lacking because you, the shining star in my life, the sole beam of light in my otherwise dark and empty existence were not there, found that heaven WAS hell because of it.
Now
Don't lock yourself away from me, don't make this harder for us. I see the yearning and desperation that claws at you when I'm near, I see it on your eyes, in the way you hesitate that millisecond before you completely escape me, in the tears that prick your eyes when I mention how happy I am that we're together again.
Now
We've been through so much, defied the world and a deity when it decided to separate us, endured the desolation of one another's absence, risked our lives and souls just for the chance to see each other again.
Now
You cant deny me what we've so ardently fought for, strived for, yearned for. Why? WHY? Isn't it enough that I adore you beyond all reason, isn't it enough that I'd give my heart and soul, HAVE given everything I have for you?
Now
I hear your whispered pleas in the dark hours of the night, hear your desperate confessions as you bow your head and pray to a god you don't believe in. I can hear the unsteady beat of your heart when I wrap my arms around you, can feel the throbbing pulse at your neck when I sigh into your skin.
Now
How I've waited and longed for you. How I've prayed and hoped and dreamed of this one moment.
Now
And as I lift my face up to yours, as I see the resignation and love brimming in your eyes I know that I've won. I know that there will be no more waiting.
Now, at last, you belong to me.
