With just one look I can see your eyes daring me,

Daring me to take your hand.

My heart skips a beat as I lose myself in the ocean of your thoughts.

As the waves crash over me,

I see the way you SEE me.

Your happiness, your desires.

I see our future….

A future with such promise,

with such hope.

Everything else in the universe seems to melt away;

Time and space are suspended.

The two of us trapped in eternal nothing.

A nothing shared with no one, I cannot see another choosing this life.

Choosing me.

But there is your hand….

Daring me to take it.
