I Can't Help Myself

By Emallia Janor

I can't help myself.

I have to see her.

Again.

It's like she's infectious.

I can't stop myself.

I find myself, yet again, standing out side her door.

Just looking.

Looking at the way the stars cast a soft light over her.

The way they pick out her tiny features, like pixie dust.

I let out a sigh and just as I'm about to leave, I fel a pair of arms wrap around me. I smile and pull the owner of those arms closer.

"You're doing it again," she says.

"I couldn't help myself," I say and we both fall silent before returning to bed for the few precious hours of sleep we have left.

A million thoughts run through my head, but the main one is "I love you, both of you. For now and for always."

Nothing will ever change that. I find myself now wishing I could save this moment forever.

~The End~
