I tasted rainwater on her wet lips, and we separated, our hands still clasped together. The room lit up as lightening streaked outside, and we kissed again. Our blood dripping to the floor we held the kiss till the sound of thunder. I promised there. I promised in blood because you cannot lie in blood.
Blood holds the truth.
I would protect her forever. We went to our homes then, parting ways in the storm, our hands bandaged in torn-out strips of my shirt. Parting ways feeling we were more together then than ever before. Forever and ever, to the end. And it has ended.
