“I love you.”

She closed her eyes and let the words wash over her. Her life was infused with such vibrant colors when she was with him. She felt alive with him. She knew he believed the words in the moment, and she wanted to feel them, to believe them too, but she knew he couldn’t give her what she wanted, what she needed from him.

She was all or nothing when it came to love. She had friends, a couple whom she allowed more vivid access to her than others, but in the end, they were friends. They didn’t get into her heart the way he did. They didn’t make her pulse race from just the mention of their names like he did. He was so much more to her than a friend, even a friend with benefits, and she wanted more from him than she knew he could give, at least for now. She hoped someday down the road they’d get it right. She was hopeful but lived in the reality of their current circumstances.

So she took a long breath, enjoying the gratification his words provided to infuse her soul. She smiled softly and opened her eyes. She kissed him, letting him see and feel all their future could be in that kiss. The emotion and energy flowed through her into him. It lifted them both for the briefest of moments, the air around them crackled with electricity, strength, love, passion, joy, something amazing they could only find with the power of each of them together, all that they could be together.

Breaking off the kiss, she touched her forehead to his as their breathing slowed, and the whirlwind that had surrounded them calmed. She touched his lips again, briefly, then ran her fingers through his hair and down to his shoulder, kissing him once again on his neck just behind his earlobe.

She felt him shiver from affection and arousal. She looked in his eyes, said, “I love you too,” and with her eyes told him goodbye, at least for this moment in time.

This... is so powerful. I felt an emotional connection to the words... you really expressed things incredibly. <Sigh> I'm surely not the only one who could relate...
So well done!!

@CCMorgan Thank you very much! There is often a lot of emotion and heart in what I write. Sometimes it's frustrating because I often can't write without it. I need inspiration to write. I wish I could just pull stuff out of my head like many true writers can.
CCMorgan · 51-55, M
@ChampagneOnIce I understand that! I sometimes write best, when I'm upset... which sucks. I think all writers have to be inspired, to do great works. Whatever you are doing though... keep it up because it is working!! This IS great work!
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@CCMorgan Thank you! 😊
Magenta · F
Poignant and special. Very well expressed.
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@Magenta This just came out easily. It’s not exactly what I wanted to write, but the words flowed effortlessly. I want to write something sexy and sensual next time. I haven’t written that in a while, so I hope I can think of something. 😄

I hope it strikes for both of us too!
Magenta · F
@ChampagneOnIce This is sometimes the best ones! More raw and real, that flow naturally with little forethought.

Will need to put on my inspirational thinking horns. 😈 ;-)
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@Magenta Haha. Moi aussi 😈😉
Damn!!! That felt irritatingly good.....now if only that didn't end in a goodbye.....😌
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@Vivaci That can be true, sadly. Sometimes we unexpectedly find love that cannot be as well. It’s sad whenever any of those things happen.
@ChampagneOnIce oh yeah, that's a bummer...I hope no one faces that. 🥺
Magenta · F
@Vivaci
people give up on each other too easily ...and they feel entitled to find another love the moment they face a bump in the road!! Pure, innocent love is rare to find these days.

Spot on.
