Make or Break I leant forward, Fingers hesitantly reaching out To stroke your face, Both feeling and seeing you shiver at my touch.
"Love,"
I whispered,
"I'm going to fix this, I promise."
And I placed a gentle kiss On the tip of your nose, Smiling as some of the light Returned to your eyes.
There was something sprouting in my heart, But what was it? The feeling felt familiar, But so foreign, Like an old friend Whom I hadn't seen in years. And then it dawned on me what it was: Happiness. That was what I felt. Oh, how I'd missed That wonderful feeling.
And I was about to tell you Of this beautiful, slowly returning sensation Seeping deep into the depths of my soul Like rays of sunshine, Like warm hot chocolate on a frigid winter day, But then our moment was interrupted And The lab door Opened.
The elderly woman Standing in the doorway Stared, Eyes wide And mouth agape. My hand flew out And grasped yours, Holding on tightly. I didn't want you to worry Even though We had been discovered Even though This woman could be the end Of our everything.
"Who areyou?" She exclaimed. I stood stock still, Frozen with fear. My mind flew at a thousand miles an hour As that fear quickly manifested.
I was afraid. Afraid of what might happen to you Afraid of what might happen to me Afraid that we would be separated yet again... Afraid because I couldn't handle that. I wasn't strong enough to make it on my own. I needed you In my life.
"I..."
I started, then stopped. What do you say To a total stranger Who holds the power To make or break you?
I knew much about the world And the people who lived in it, But in that very moment I didn't have a clue What to say Or how to react.
