for our love, and only ours is bulletproof.

love is like
one moment
of dancing in a ballroom,
hands interwoven
with
a soul that
just connects.
as your eyes stare deeply,
passionately
into theirs.

then without much thought,
a warning,
a sign,
you are staring down,
face first
into a barrel that belongs
to a gun.
and with 
those same eyes
the ones that looked
so sweetly
into the soul,
that you knew for sure
was yours.
now look up,
to realize it was them.
their fingers
so tightly
against the trigger.

and for a moment,
you realize.
you aren't afraid to die.
