Beach Nights

I feel his fingers run through my hair. We lay on the warm, soft sand. Turning away to look at the bright stars he puts his hand on my chin and turns my head back to his attention. He brings his lips closer to mine. Randomly shifting his mouth towards my ear i feel his warm breath hit my neck sending goosebumps throughout my whole body. Fed up with his teasing I kiss him forcefully, indulging my endless love to his lips. He stops but only to whisper in my ear three words I was dying to hear. As he tells me ' I love you' I acknowledge his true feelings and say it back. In the past I have said it but this time I have a gut feeling that tells me that for the first time I actually mean it.
