Lightning
Flash!
Thunder
Crash!
Bullets flying!
Everyone's dying!
Something on me,
Set me free!
Panic sets in!
Feel the adrenaline!
Bursts of light, he has to fight!
Death for death, frantic breath
Punches meet air, they're everywhere!
A noise breaches space, spin to see a face
Braces for combat! She calls for him to come back...
A name floats through the air and caresses his senses
Realization releases the tension that wound him so tight
Jungle heat transforms into a tangled, sweaty cotton sheet
Cool and collected, her soft hand reaches cautiously for his cheek
She moves gently and slowly, never fearful despite what she witnessed.
A touch so loving for a man so broken, he leans into its steady pulse of life
Foreheads meet in a touch so sweet that he falls deaf to the storm still raging outside.
"I love you" he suggests and "I love you" she confirms as the thunder roars in defeat
