Starlight

I looked at her and smiled as if I'd seen her for the first time. She had a way of letting herself into me as if the doors of my heart were always open. At first glance it felt like deja vu, like I have had this dream before but now the difference was that this wasn't a dream. The funny part is that I talk of her like a stranger forgetting all these years under warm cuddles. I'd always wonder, Who am I to deserve this kind of a miracle. She looked at me with those rose gold eyes, a glance I felt go within me to the depths deep near the hearts fortress. Sometimes I'd contemplate not to touch her as I felt I'd contaminate all the goodness in her with the rotten stintch I called a soul.

"Daniel are you okay" she asked "You have been looking at me like you never seen me before. Hello dummy!! it's me Rachael" with a short giggle she took hold of my hand. I could feel I was more then in my happy place.

"No I'm okay my love" I said as I giggled back."its just that every time I look at you I seem to lose my mind and I keep asking myself if this was really me who pulled of dating such beautiful girl like you."

"Come let me show you something" as she pulled me to the ground. " Lay down and look up to the sky and tell me what you see"

" The stars baby" I said as I giggled. I didn't know what she meant.

" The heavens, the stella beauty. That is what's beautiful not me. Admire the world around you something that wont die down Dust to dust."

" What are you talking about baby" I said as I laughed hard. I stopped immediately when I saw her look away with tears in her eyes." Rachael what's wrong did I say something "

"No I'm fine its nothing" as she wiped her tears off her face." I love you" then she kissed me on the forehead and stood up and went straight back to the car.

I knew something was bothering her but I couldn't get it out of her to tell me. I felt like I was failing her.
