His hand stretches closer, curling around mine, warming the cool, pale skin of my thin fingers. My body instinctively learns toward his, cutting the distance between us in half. He closes the distance, pressing his warm lips against mine, his sweet breath mingling with my own. There is no resistance between us, nothing to hold us back, nothing to stop us.
It wasn't always this way. There was a time when he was just another body, nothing of importance. Everything seems to have changed since those days. We don't have to be as careful.Hiding what should be known to the world. It was safer to hide though, better to protect each other from the world. We kept each other safe, while every one walked around us, past us, suspecting nothing. Then again there was nothing for them to see, we were so careful. Considering every move before it was made, every step was met with judgment and hindrance. And now everything is different. There is no need to tip toe through a room, no need to talk in hushed voices. We are free. Free to be who we are, both together and alone.
