Swept Away

In a crowded parking lot of a Saturday afternoon shopping mall, you turned to me.
Your green eyes flashing, you stopped, you stared. You smiled.
While the traffic moved around us, you lowered your head to mine. Close enough for me to see the beautiful yellow striations in your eyes.
A smile rippled across your face, your fingers found their way into my hair, and then you kissed me.

The world fell away.

A passerby saw us, melded together on the pavement, and honked. Our lips spread into smiles under the weight of our love, and we laughed. It was everything. YOU are everything.

How I love to love you.

This is where I belong.

Always.
