He began to draw on my face one night, and at first I thought he was tracing the path of a tear from the corner of my eye down my cheek. But then I realized that it was the letter I followed with a heart and then the letter U. I didn't expect my heart to take of thumping at such a frantic pace. He felt it too and he thought it was fear. I'm not sure what emotion it was - only that the heart on my cheek sent a surge of adrenaline into my circulation.

I'm not planning on forever; I'm just living in the right now. I am not in love, but I will explore and recieve his love in the meanwhile. I forget what it was like to be alone...
