------------------------------------------

You were gone for so long. So, so long. And it scared me. I'm sorry to admit it, I'm afraid to admit it. But, I really did think that you weren't coming back, that you were gone forever, that I was going to be alone. And it hurt, so much.

When you walked, no strolled, through the gate like you owned, actually you did, in a sense, I couldn't believe it. It wasn't real. You couldn't be real. Not after all this time.

But, then you smirked your all-knowing, infuriating, I-dare-you smirk, and my heart stopped, and then it started pounding, and, for some reason, there was wetness on my cheek, in my eyes.

And, like an arrow, like a beam of moonlight, I was at your side, and I was throwing my arms around you, and I was laughing, and I was crying, and then, you were laughing and you were crying.

I threw my arms around your neck, and yours were around mine, and a split-second decision, and our lips met, and your blue eyes held so much love. And the room was quiet, and we realized what we had done, but we didn't care, all I cared about was that you were home safely, that my archaeologist was fine, and perfect, and whole, and I didn't care who knew.

And I said, for the whole world to hear:

"I love you."

And my heart was complete again.
