Between Your Heart And Mine
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heartWithout saying a word you can light up the darkTry as I may I could never explainWhat I hear when you don't say a thing
Darkness all around, the crickets chirped their hymn from outside giving the night life and sound.
A chill hung in the air due to the lateness of the hour, as Dean lie awake in bed.
Normally it was just the job that kept him alert. Haunted images, lives he couldn't save, the hideous creatures he encountered, all plaguing his mind restlessly. Insomnia was the hunters curse among others. His mind was full but not on the job. No, it was not the job that kept him awake tonight.
His eyes hung silently on his treasure, his solace lying next to him. Wrapped in the sheets, her hair messy and tangled along the pillow. Not a care in the world as Haley slept peacefully.
He watched as her chest rose and fell rhythmically with each breath as if he was witnessing the most intricate, awe inspiring event in God's creation and in his eyes… he was.
His orbs drifted to her hands, lightly clutching the thin blanket to her chest.
He noted her beautiful long slender fingers, and way you couldn't tell from a glance, but she had the softest embrace with her palms.
Emerald eyes roamed over her creamy skin. Skin that shined even in the darkness, like florescent cream, but soft as feathers, and he would know, because he had touched every part of her.
His gaze fell to her hair in the silence. Those golden thread locks, he loved to tangle his fingers in. That from up close smelt like wild flowers in the spring, but he was one of the few who knew that. Most never got the privilege to get close enough to discover that secret.
With a racing heart full of love his eyes finally found her face. Every feature delicate and feminine. Her deep set eyes, framed by long curved lashes. Eyes that when open could see inside his soul. Her button shape nose that was cute in a calling kind of way. Dean often had to fight the urge to nip it between his lips when up close. Then her mouth, that glorious mouth of hers that could bring him to his knees with a simple kiss. It was shapely in all the right ways. It's tint nature, but just a pink enough hue to always catch his eye and the texture.
A shuttered breath left his lips with the thought. The texture was something unreal. Soft and full, when Haley imprisoned him in that pout Dean knew what love was, and there wasn't a thing she couldn't get him to do.
Lying there in the dark, silently watching his love as the hours passed, Dean thanked whatever forces may be for letting her stumble into his life. She was the stars to his moon, the sun to his sky. Without her he was lost, and looking upon her lying beside him, Dean knew he was home.
Slowly she shifted in the sheets before her long lady lashes fluttered open, and those piercing chocolate eyes hooked him in a second. Dean watched a soft delirious smile fill her with his presence.
All day long I can hear people talking out loudBut when you hold me near, you drown out the crowdOld Mr. Webster could never defineWhat's being said between your heart and mine
Gently wiping her eyes, Haley's soft melody voice filled the room. "Can't sleep?" She questioned, knowing him like the back of her hand.
His head shook from side to side, as Dean's transfixed gaze held her breathtaking image.
Finally among those awake, Haley noted the look in his eyes, the happiness spilling off him like the current off a waterfall edge.
Her hand softly reached out and tangled with his. "What's stealing your attention?" Haley quietly questioned, genuine interest on her breath and gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Dean let it out slowly, letting the feel surge through him before he spoke. "Just you." He admitted, the look in his eyes mirroring his words. That it was her that bewitched his spirit and stole his soul.
The feeling crashed into Haley like a wave out on the ocean in a way only he could fill her. It endlessly tickled Haley to wonder what the world would think if they knew he wasn't rough or crass at all, but soft and loving with a glance.
Her heart called for him like church bells that chime on the hour, Haley snuggled over to her love. The one that completed her heart.
Snuggled close against him, her face nestled into a soft warm spot on his strong chest. Her arms wound securely around him as she felt him do the same.
Their hearts beat in unison like their undying love. Haley's tired eyes fluttered close once again. Basking in this place of peace on earth, like a taste of heaven.
Leaning in, softly she brushed her lips against his smooth chest, kissing him tenderly.
Her whispered words murmured against his skin as she spoke. "I love you." She said for the millionth time to him, knowing she'd say it another million, and never be through.
Dean's arms tightened around her as his breath picked up its pace momentarily.
Her love surged through his heart making him whole. Her words resonating, but only amplifying what her unspoken words said. Nuzzling his face in her silky locks to get a whiff of her wild flower scented hair that was his secret prize, Dean returned the sentiment his heart screamed every second she was near. "I love you too."
The smile on your face lets me know that you need meThere's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave meThe touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fallYou say it best when you say nothing at all
