I grind my teeth and clinch onto your shirt to prevent from falling over as you run up a rock covered incline. You're always so impulsive like that. One minute you could be enjoying a moment of rest and the next you're jumping off a cliff because, it will get you to town quicker. That's just one of the many quirks that make you, you. One of those things that make me love you. It must also be why you stood in front of me that day so long ago. It's in your nature.
I'm smiling again, as I think about it. But I can't keep doing this. I shouldn't think about that now. I can't keep focusing on the past. I have to concentrate on the present. I know I should, but. But it only depresses me. Whenever I take the time to return to reality, to really live now, it saddens me. I rather be entranced in the time where I didn't feel this empty. In a time where I could look at you and it didn't hurt. Where I didn't have to fake a smile while internally my heart throbs. But staying in the present is what's necessary now.
I sigh deeply as I come back to this world, pressing my face deep into the nape of your neck. At least this feels nice. So, very nice. I wish I could just stay like this, rubbing your neck slowly while I hug your back that often carries me.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked suddenly his voice filled with worriment as he lifts his hand to feel my forehead.
I both hate and love when you use that voice towards me. I hate it, because I don't ever want you to have to worry or be upset about anything. But then, my selfish side comes crawling out, and that's the side that loves it so. Knowing that you're is speaking like that for me, worried about me; it simply makes my insides want to sing. Therefore, I take advantage of the moment and press my face deeper into your palm. I stay like this for a while trying to enjoy this moment of being so close to you. But, I know I have to stop soon. So, finally I release a soft sound that assures you that I'm just fine.
I sigh again; to myself this time as you remove your hand from my head to give me a thumb up before continuing on ahead. Oh well, that will keep me happy and content for a while. A short while.

"A very short while." I say aloud to myself, sitting on a large rock just outside the cave where the group had decided to stay for the night. I tried for hours to fall asleep, but I just couldn't. The night air was calling for me. So, now I sit out here in the cool outdoors instead of being cozy and warm next to you. But there is also the wind. The wind sure does feel good as it caresses my face tonight. It's almost soothing. "It's just like..." I begin to say before closing my eyes shut, enjoying the breeze's gentle stroke.
"It's just like his touch, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is." I reply in a near whisper, my voice just loud enough to be heard over the whistle of the wind. "It's not as warm though." I say with a small smile planted on my face, trying to imagine if it were. I sit there on the cool rock with my eyes still closed shut, letting the breeze caress me, just enjoying the moment of peace until…
