Could I love you any more

-

Dim light. Cold air. The earth stood still as if everything around us was asleep. The gleam of city light was the only thing ray on his face that stared at me. Soft gaze,  tender smile in the corner of his mouth, newly cut hair, a wide forehead, green eyes, long lashes, full lips, and everything about him that made me feel so weak. We lay on our stomachs facing each other. He caressed my naked back and ran his finger through my skin down to the spine. It sent me a shiver, but he knew how much I loved it when he did it.

He knew I loved it too when his face came closer to give me a peck on my cheek. Feeling his newly grown beard and mustache brushed against my skin. It sent me another shiver. He knew it too well that I loved it when his soft and tender lips touched my lips a little longer. Feeling his breath against mine. Tasting chocolate cake and wine that we ate after dinner. 

We knew each other too well without saying anything. We knew that we love to cuddle after we made love to each other. We knew that we loved to spend time together only for the two of us.

“You know that I love you, right?” More like a statement than a question. I nodded.

“You know that I just want to be with you forever, right?” He nodded.

“Gosh, I miss you so much.” He touched my cheek and pressed his palm, almost squeezing it. 

“But..we are together now.” I chuckled.

“I know, isn’t it crazy? I’m being with you, but I miss you even more.” He said. I know what he meant because I feel it too. The more I spent my time with him, the more I felt it was never enough. Maybe, even forever was not enough. 

He pulled my body closer. Wrapped his body around me. Held me so tight with his strong arms. I caressed his back. Feeling his skin textures. Smelling his body. The most comfortable scent I had ever known. 

“I love you. So fucking much.” He whispered. I shivered. Again.

“I can’t get enough of you,” I said softly almost teary because of the truth I felt at this very moment. 

“Could we stay closer than this?” He said again, though his body and mine were still intact together. Like a Siamese twins. Then, I looked up, staring at his eyes.

“Could I love you any more than this?”

He laughed. I laughed. Then we kissed.

Of all seven billion people in the world, meeting him was a miracle. Of all 195 countries in the world, we found each other in a very unexpected place and in a magical way. As if we were meant to be. As if we were destined for each other.

A Tale of A Foolish Cinderella

-
     Previous story: Cinderella and the prince — who’s now become a king, broke up, they stopped talking to each other and moved on with their own life.       Until one day, The King suddenly rang the bell and showed up at the doorstep. “How are you doing?” He asked casually. Cinderella was so flustered, yet foolishly happy by the chance to reconnect with someone she used to or was probably still in love with.      It appears that The King needed support from Cinderella to withstand attacks from neighboring kingdoms that wanted to dethrone him. After his mother and father gave him the throne, The King ruled his kingdom alone. Cinderella, who knew that man like the back of her hand, understood the struggle. She assured him that she would support him no matter what.       Days turned to weeks, and the time spent together had made their heart grow fonder. The King gave a hint that he wanted to re-establish their relation...

Us

McDonald's parking lot Past midnight We talked for hours So many topics Mostly about you, about me We talked about us What happened between us How we used to be together How all of a sudden, everything fell apart I miss you, I said I know you miss me too You reached my finger Put them between yours We finally made up Your ice cream cone was finished Mine was melted in the cup I savor it little by little while talking with you I love it when you wear your glasses, you said I smiled I love seeing your big brown eyes, I said quietly Illuminated by the street light We gaze into each other's eyes Understanding the depth of what we felt at this moment You said you wanted to kiss me I gave you a peck on your cheek You smile I found your dimple was so cute So I want to kiss you, too I pulled your collar to get you closer Your lips met mine Tasted like a gummy bear Vanilla, like the ice cream you just finished Smell a little bit of tobacco, like our cigarettes It was sweet, it was tende...

Love like a Jellyfish

-
  Fun fact:  Jellyfish is an ancient animal and has existed on the earth for more than 500 years. Jellyfish don't have brains and hearts, their body consists of 98% water. Jellyfish could resist the damaged ocean and still reproduce massively. One type of Jellyfish could live forever by cheating the life process. Moral of the story: I think I love you like a Jellyfish.  Because there are times when I feel my love for you linger way longer than Jellyfish existence.  Because when I am with you, I don’t use my brain cells or my heart, I simply follow wherever the stream flows. Because as long as I am with you, I can adapt to any environment I am in, but I still love you with all the means. Because when our love seems to die, it just needs some little time to recover and then come back even stronger than ever.  I think I like it when I love you like a Jellyfish.   But let’s Imagine if someone make a research about our love existence: “Love like a Jellyfish, a l...
