Agony
Stealing glances to glimpse her perfect imperfection just one more time... Sighing slowly whenever she caught him hurriedly tearing his eyes away... Breathing in gunpowder and roses whenever she got too close... Skipping heartbeats at the sound of his deep voice invoking her name...
They only sit a few steps apart in that small confinement. Their eyes—obsidian and hazel—would always meet, and the world would quiet down to a hush, and the only thing that mattered was the two of them. But no matter how strong their eyes connected in a yearning gaze, they would never meet in a union of hearts and souls.
He has a path to take—a path to the top filled with civil wars, military controversies and everyday uncertainties. But he chose this danger, and she could only follow in his footsteps, covering his back, protecting him from enemies who would dare assault him from behind. Their only gratification in all the chaos erupting around them is in knowing that they belong, and that someday, they will gain freedom. And they could finally consume their fiery desire without having to think of what the consequences would be come tomorrow.
Hold on.
I am.
For now, they could only sit a few steps apart. Their eyes—obsidian and hazel—meeting in a passionate gaze for brief moments in time, everyday, sending looks of longing for the day when they could do more than just gaze at each other to last them through the day.
