Out of the darkness, he appeared – not silently, but with the crisp sound of frozen leaves crushed under a heavy footstep. You never were a ninja, my love.
I’m sure we must have spoken – I can’t remember anything but his eyes, his smile, and then … his embrace. We were beyond words.
Tenderly, he held me. I stood there, with the coolness in my face and his warmth wrapped around me. Even now I still feel you.
Together we witnessed as the Earth’s shadow crept softly across the surface of the moon. I felt the universe pull us together.
She was red and full – full of magic and love and possibilities. We had no idea of full.
Our moon – that moment – I knew. You were mine.
That was the moment I knew we belonged together – the whole universe opened to me in that moment and I knew that you were right for me. And I would forever be yours.
