38th Kiss

As she sleeps peacefully beside me, I find solace in running my fingers through her hair, the gentle strands weaving through my touch like silk threads. Her serene expression, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains, holds a certain magic that captivates me.

In this moment, a realization dawns upon me with unwavering clarity—I am lost without her. Though I was perceived as intelligent by many, success seems a hollow pursuit in the absence of purpose. Yet, since Arianne entered my life, she has stirred dormant emotions within me, kindling a flame of vitality that I never knew existed.

With her, the color of my existence deepens, each shade imbued with newfound significance. She brings balance to my being, grounding me in the essence of who I am. Though subtle, her words resonate within me, shaping my perceptions and igniting a fervor for life.
