Press play and read the following passage - let your imagination take you where it may. How do you see the story ending?
"It's here.... it's here!!! For goodness sake - just look - it's here!" He kept shouting at me,
"I can't see anything.... " I replied
What was he talking about? what was so urgent and important that I had to acknowledge?
I sighed and looked down at my feet, whispering under my breath, how naive and frail I felt - I just wish I could feel - touch - embrace whatever it was he saw...
but I stood, idle and confused
"You missed it... you missed it, yet again" He lifts my chin up, and suddenly we're lost in each other's eyes.
I felt frozen; completely unable to move, and catch a breath. My heartbeat nearly jumping out of my chest, I could feel my legs buckle - and alas, I got it. I saw what he meant - I could feel it....embrace it.
This moment. Him looking at me. It all made sense.
"No," I say, "I didn't miss anything" and finally lean in for a kiss.
