The journey

“You ready?” he said. “yes, when I’m with you” I said and smiled. He smiled back and we went hand in hand down the road. We were on a new journey together. Away from everyone else we walked. We only needed each other at this point. I shivered but the warmth of his hug stopped me. The leaves painted our new colorful world together. I let go of his hand and danced in circles around the road. He followed after and grabbed my hands. We danced down the road now and the whole world stopped for that moment, even the wind blowing on the trees. Even so swiftly as we danced he leaned in and kissed me. he then said, “I love you”. I said, “I love you too”, and we went down the road.
