Hey. I dont really know what to say, but I know that its important... so i guess i will just improvise until then... Wolves howl close by, making me sit up; wariness pulling my muscles tight. Tension fills the space that words and thoughts usually occupy. Minutes trickle by, and then the howls’ sound further away and I settle back to the ground, having second thoughts about sneaking out tonight. No matter the company. “We should go back. We’re invading their territory.” I say, my voice sounding disembodied in the poor light. “Exactly. Now there’s no chance of anyone interrupting us.” Says a deep voice. “Oh yeah, I’m sure a pack of wild wolves will be considerate enough to rip us apart quietly, you know, so they don’t find us.” I mutter sarcastically under my breath. A low chuckle follows. Sweet smelling grass presses into my back softly, dampening my light flannel shirt with dew. I wonder fleetingly if our imprints will remain in the tall grass long after we are gone. I can feel a comforting presence beside me, his hand caressing mine, drawing mesmerising circles on my palm with his thumb. His touch brings my world into sharp definition, and I notice a million things all at once. The dark outlines of trees are silhouetted against a bright blue moon, reaching up to the sky like a barrier that keeps us safe from the outside world. The sad song of a lone night bird, telling the never-ending tale of the universe, and the wind whispers about the unknown. I can smell the sweet scent of night jasmine, leaking into my brain and heightening my senses, while comforting me at the same time. But the most stunningly beautiful detail of the world that he has brought me into, are the stars. They fill the sky with countless balls of multi-coloured light, and fill the expanse of night with their watchfulness and luminescence. They wink at me cheerfully, dancing through the dark stage of the sky. I wonder what the stars think of such a strange couple, staring in awe of the deep dark above us. I couldn’t think of one single place on the planet I would rather be than with him. Just being in his presence has shown me the world through new eyes. The words “I love you” sat precariously on my lips, though I pushed them back, not wanting to scare him away with my honesty. Don’t let this moment end, I silently begged the moon instead. A wolf howled nearby. “We should go back before someone misses us.” He says, and I couldn’t help but agree. It was simply too dangerous. We stood together, brushing ourselves off and reluctantly preparing for the walk back. The moon smirked. oh, thats right... YOU ARE LOVED!!
