The thick, heavy rain falling down in big drops, each one a beautiful shade of rich dark blue. Slowly at first,
one then two, falling around us, pattering on the ground, increasing, getting stronger, faster, like the rain is
my heartbeat, slow, heavy beats turning to quick, racing patters, thundering in my chest, and echoing all around me.
We're stood, alone in the cold, dark shade of a winter's night, by the grim iron railings that keep us from the
beautiful scenery beyond. I look out at the horizon, the great dark mass of blue ocean swishing slowly, making
gentle contact with the grey stone legs of the bridge, stretching right out for miles on end, before touching the
great red sunset sky above, the colours blending softly together to form a perfect horizon, finished with the
glitter of the slow setting sun, a deep orange glow in the distance.
The sight is so magical, so wonderful, like ive never seen it this way before. Like it was made specially for
tonight, for this moment, like the perfect backdrop to match the perfect scence.
I look her in the eyes, and I cant take my gaze away from her. I am fixed here, staring slowly, lovingly, into her
deep, caring eyes, as they sparkle in the light, glittering and mirroring the beauty of the colours behind us.
And right at that moment, I realise that there will never be a better chance, no better time to say this, than now.
And so I take her hands in mine, hold them softly by my waist, and I say to her,
'I love you, I love you so much, '
And she smiles back at me, such a warm glow on her face, such a loving, caring look she gives me, and I know it is
right.
I slowly move my hands up from her waist, gently sliding them along the beatiful, soft curves of her figure, right up
into her soft, silky hair, I hold her gently, and I touch my lips to hers.
The moment our lips meet, it just feels so right, so good, like we're truly together for the first time, finally
showing each others true feelings, this kiss means so much more than words can ever describe. This kiss means we're
in love.
The rain is still falling around us, heavy, thick drops beating upon the ground around us, but we dont even notice
it as we kiss, holding each other gently, feeling so right, being so close to our true love.
Finally, we stop, and take a step back to admire each other, and I see her in a way ive never seen
before. She looks so, amazing, so beautiful, and I feel so lucky to be the one she loves.
We take each others hand once again, and we gaze into the sunset once more, admiring its beauty just as we see each
other.
So we walk away, hand in hand, shadows merging into one behind us, backs to the beautiful sunset, but eyes to
something much more beautiful. The person who I loved so much, so truly, that she'd had to break my heart before I
told her how I really felt.
