Perfect Moment
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
We’re lying on the beach, my head gently resting on his strong shoulder and
his arms wrapped around me. The sounds of waves rolling reach me as a cool
breeze caresses my face. The moonlight shines down on us, neither of us speak
there is no need for words between us. I close my eyes and sigh in contentment,
if you had told me I would be doing this twenty-four hours ago I would have
said you were insane. Yet here I am, in the arms of the man I love.
It was only 8 hours ago that he showed up on my doorstep, the sunlight pouring
over his warm body. I had been getting ready to see Willow and one of the potentials
so that we could go for a girl’s night out. I had been running around my house,
trying desperately to fix my hair and find my purse; knowing that I was already
running late. When I first heard the knock on the door I had groaned, thinking
that Andrew had stopped by to get his Star-Wars comics that he had left here
after moving out last week. Grabbing the small pile off of the floor I quickly
moved across the room and opened the door. I froze the minute I saw him, dropping
the pile of comics and looking at him in awe. There he was, bathed in sunlight
wearing the brightest smile I’d ever seen. Without a word he put my hand in
his and placed it over his newly beating heart. I felt my eyes filling with
tears as I realized what had happened. I didn’t know how or why, all I knew
is that he was here and alive.
He pulled me into his arms, pressing his lips to mine in the
most amazing kiss I’d ever experienced. Filled with so much love and passion that my knees gave
out, his arms were so tightly wrapped around me however, I didn’t notice. Without
pulling away I brought him into my apartment, kicking the door shut behind
us. I quickly removed his jacket and tossed it onto the couch before leading
him down the hall for some much needed welcoming home.
Some odd hours later I lay in his arms, I gave him a sweet kiss before
tilting my head to look into his eyes.
“I love you.” I whispered, it was the first words that had been spoken between
us since Sunnydale and I had never been so sure of anything in my life.
“I love you.” He replied, pulling me closer. We slowly drifted off to a light
sleep, relishing finally being together again.
Two hours later we awoke from our peaceful slumber, giving each other a genuine
smile. We were still for a few minutes, before I slowly sat up and reached
for my clothes. Silently he did the same and turned to me once we were both
clothed. I smiled and quickly removed our shoes, before taking his hand and
leading him out of my apartment. We walked out of the building and three blocks
in our bare feet, grinning like fools lost in our own world. By then it was
one or two in the morning, the beach is quiet of all the usual tourists.
That’s how we ended up here. Lying on the beach wrapped in each other’s embrace,
listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. And right now, nothing else
means anything. The war is not over, the evil is still coming, technically
we are both involved with other people. But that doesn’t matter now. Neither
of us is thinking about war or destinies, worrying about what happens next.
For the first time in our lives, we are both perfectly content and at peace.
I snuggle further into his arms, smiling up at him.
“This is perfect.” I say softly, “This hour, this minute…. This is the most perfect
moment of my life.”
He gently places a kiss in my golden hair and places his head on mine.
“Ya,” he says smiling slightly, “It is.”
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
The End
