I can’t control my hands… they seem to have developed a mind of their own. They grasp her face and pull her towards me. Our foreheads meet and we simultaneously let out a deep sigh. “It’s been too long,” I weakly offer. She hitches a breath and tries so hard to respond to me, but I can see by the reflection of pain in her eyes that she can’t convey her words. I seize the moment and crush my lips to hers. She doesn't pull away... ©© J.L. Thomas 2014
