I was hesitant in the beginning, afraid and unwilling to let down the drawbridge of my heart.

It took no longer than a fortnight and I was yours; mind, body and soul.

Now I know your touch, your laugh, how your breathe moves as you sleep.

Before you fall it's easy to walk away, to pretend you're lives are not intertwined.

But now I am changed.

And I'm afraid you will too, and I'll fade from your life like the stars at dawn.
