Don't look at me

And then came the rain

he let his eyes fall shut. his heart a burning hole cascading thick red smoke - its haze, choking, blinding, held him in her arms. another promise. another drifting gaze - he didn’t mind. all she had to do was look him in the eye and all of him was hers. breathless, he gasped her name knowing when she was through she wouldn’t remember his.
