Just decided to pen my feel and take on how their confession should play out! Keeping it simple, and moderately intense Abhira style!
A ghostly streak of light across the sky, a reminder of the clashing winds. The sky was spangled with tremulous tear drops and at horizon, the clouds hung down in gossamer folds. A pale silver moon remained hidden, acknowledging the sorrows of seas.
‘I didn’t think it would be this piercing’, he said. A frown between her eyes conveyed the confusion.
‘Loving you’, he answered to her unspoken question. ‘Why do you say that’, her voice trembled and her eyes closed on their own.
She would have shivered if it wasn’t for the warmth of his hands on her cheeks. ‘Closing your eyes will not let you escape the reality’, he whispered and continued ‘It is real, and it is happening right now’.
‘Is it always this hard?’ she asked.
‘No one ever said it would be easy’ he sighed and held her close. Her hands clenched and unclenched, palms remained clammy. When she moved away from his embrace, she realised the coldness of the night.
‘I’m falling hard but there is no hurt or pain’, she said. ‘My feet is on the earth, but I’m soaring in the sky’, he said with a small teasing smile.
His hands outstretched to her, he said ‘I’m right here, let go, and hold on to me’.
‘I’m not scared of flying’, she said and continued, ‘I’m scared of falling and getting hurt’.
‘Let go and trust me, I will not hold you down but I sure will hold on to you’ his eyes promised.
His fingers lazily traced a pattern on her hands. She released a breath that she dint realise she was holding. And, she wasn’t falling anymore. How had that happened? One moment she was falling and then his touch brought her to a standstill.
‘My fingers did the trick, didn’t it? His smile broadened. ‘It is the same for me. When I don’t see you, the anxiety kills me’. ‘What is this?’ Her eyes shone with unshed tears.
‘Love’, he replied. His fingers found hers as they stood staring at the storm brewing over the sea.
The seas wept in sorrow for it could never touch the sky the same way. Waves rolled over and over to reach out and in unsuccessful attempt.
The skies poured out their sadness as earth trembled with thunders. The silver moon witnessed the untold tale of love.
Hope you guys liked it! It’s wayyyy to cheesy when I reread it
