He lifted my face, wet with tears, to meet his eyes.
There was nothing I can do but to stare into his deep, ocean eyes.
"I love you". He whispered in my ears.
As tears rolled down my face, I struggled to make the words out,
"I can't"
For a moment, he went speechless.
"Why?"He asked as he brushed a lock of hair from my face and tucked under my ear.
"I just can't"
"But why?"
He looked at me, his eyes pleading for an answer.
"I can't love" I couldn't meet his eye.
"My heart is a million broken pieces."
I whimpered.
We both went quiet for a moment.
I looked up to see his face. I couldn't read it.
Then he leaned towards me and kissed my forehead.
"It takes a million little fireflies to light up the way." A soft whisper. "I only want your million little broken pieces to love me"
He paused for a second.
"Can you do that?" He held my gaze.
As I gazed into that beautiful face, I saw nothing but love in his eyes. How could I ever deny them?
I closed my eyes as I nodded.
" Yes"
And his lips met mine..
