I’m melted

I heard his beats in the driveway.

My heart beat faster.

My blood drained a little.

I wasn’t looking forward to this.

I heard his footsteps down the hallway.

I saw his head appear in the doorway.

I looked up vacantly.

He smiled.

He walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me.

Held me warmly, strongly.

I was numb.

It was the last thing I expected.

The familiarity, the warmth, the strength in his body, his mouth, his skin, his touch, his caresses…

I was an iceberg.

Melting very slowly.

And perhaps I’m melted.

I’m melted.

Because I love him.
