Rare bird (… or a little something I wrote)

Here we are. You and me. I have dreamed about you, before I even met you and now, I am lying in your arms. Discovering your skin. Learning everything about your body. Memorizing moles, cutie marks, scars. Tasting as much of you as I can. Keep you on my tongue. Your scent is like an aphrodisiac and I feel like I am slowly becoming addicted to you. You are like a drug without a description and without warnings.

Your breath mingles with mine, as we become one. Our eyes, yours blue, mine brown, meet. Lustfully gazes. I am mesmerized by you and your presence. I feel like I have known you all my life and I ignore that we have just met for the first time. Pleasure takes over in my body. Your hands brush my hair out of my face. Sweat. I moan. You smile. And we find our rhythm. A rhythm so old, but new to us. Our bodies are slick with sweat, but we move slow. Excruciating slow. Every move prolonging our pleasure. A kiss. So sweet and tender, yet so demanding. An intimate dance, that will stay in my mind forever. Burned into my brain. It’s you I’ve been waiting for my whole life. My heart races as I see you crystal clear and I become yours. I fall. But you are there. Stars explode before my inner eye and I am left breathless. Heat. Wonderful heat engulfs me. The sweetest sounds escape your mouth and I kiss you. In this moment, we have it all. The world belongs to us and the future is ours to explore. It’s waiting for us. My senses cloud and I close my eyes. My hands touch the skin on your back. I kiss your forearms. My hands wander lower. I squeeze. You smile and bite my lip playfully.

You leave a tattoo on my skin. A permanent mark that no one will ever erase or overwrite. I feel you tumbling over the edge too, but just like you caught me, I catch you too. You tremble. There is the smile again. It’s more of a chuckle this time. Sparkling eyes. Your pale milky skin has a red sheen. You look like the most handsome man I have ever seen and you are mine. At least for now. Your hands never cease to touch me. Leaving fingerprints on my skin, that can never be washed off and I wouldn’t want it any other way. For this night, I am yours and you are mine. We don’t need words. I can’t speak your language right now anyway. Our bodies part. A regretful moan slips from my mouth. It makes me smile. I am not the insatiable type and yet, you woke up so many emotions in my sleeping heart.

When it all started, I never thought that we would meet. And yet, you are here. You know my deepest darkest secrets and still – you want me.

Our forever is over too soon. Life is catching up on us and reality too, as our love-bubble bursts. Passion and long lost feelings overwhelmed us. Made us act with our hearts and forget our brains. I have no regrets. I turn in your arms, my head on your chest. I hear your heartbeat. It’s in tune with mine. I am in heaven and you are my light. I always lived in the dark, loving the night. You guided me into the light. I don’t want this moment to end.

No one has ever put me under a spell like you and I know, that I want more. One more caress. One more kiss. One more night with you. It’s not a dream.

I am one in a million, but you picked me to stay with you. I see you, even when you think no one is watching. It makes us different and we won’t walk away from what we have. It makes me different from the rest of them. We both feel it, I can tell.

You are a rare bird. Abide with me and I’ll abide with you.

Author’s notice: The title, as well as the last sentence are inspired by a song called “rare bird” by Glen Hansard. The people in this short one-shot are a woman and a man. I think that’s all I need to explain.
