The moonlight sits still by the half opened window as a cool breeze blows in. I see you churn in your sleep, turning your body towards me. Your pale skin glowed as the soft breeze blew through your silver hair. I’ve gotten used to your skin. Ice cold, yet warm. It’s a phenomenon to me. You feel me scoot closer, and then your green eyes open, watching my big blue ones. You don't say a word but I assume I know what you’re thinking. I feel intimidated. You’re a wild man. A wild man, yet you make me feel safe but what if you hurt me? The fact of not being in control at the point as a female versus male makes me partially resentful but this creature before me looks at me with respect. He swims through my energy fields, matching in all the spots that’s just right. You grab me with your manly strength and rugged breathing, placing your soft Ausmoralian lips against my forehead. I could almost hear your heart beat, but how? You’re a demon and an angel combined. My darkest love. My sweetest love, yet darkest snuggle. Don’t let me go. It’s so comfortable here. Don't let me face light without you.
