Her opal eyes meet mine, time stops.

Her hands wrap around my body, pulling me in.

So close, I could barely breathe.

Where do I look? Her eyes, like stardust; her lips, like fresh apples. She gently places her hand on my chest, calming my heart rate like the ocean.

I blink.

Her lips on mine, the taste of golden sunlight. She is already deep in the sea of love, I cannot swim.

But love is a leap of faith.
