Bay raises his eyebrows.
"Alex, absolutely every song that talks about emotions, I wrote for you, so you have a wide selection."
I let my eyes fall half-closed, feeling that delicate sweet shiver running through my body, the awareness that I was lonely but I was never unloved, never forgotten.
"Sing Touch Me."
Bay smiles gently.
"Sure."
His fingers strike the strings, and he begins to sing, and while he does he keeps looking straight into my eyes.
And in that one moment …wow. There is it!
I feel it again. Just like that.
The magic expands between us, his eyes… when he looks at me, I see it in them.
What we once had and what never disappeared, that special bond.
My eyes grow wet quickly, and I slide down to my knees, kneeling by his legs, while he plays and sings the lyrics.
Touch me, like the night needs the moon,
Like the tide needs the shore.
Touch me, like you’re starving too,
Can’t stop begging for more.
Oh, I crave you all the time,
It’s you I dream about…
Touch me, like you mean it,
Like you’ll never let go.
Every time you hold me tight,
I swear I’ll never leave…
Touch me, like the dark needs light,
Like the earth needs the rain.
As we make a step,
Every day it’s one more.
We’re getting closer now,
every day and every night…
He has such a good voice… I slowly lean to the side and pull the gloves from his pocket.
I put one on and rest my hand on his knee. Bay’s eyes fall to my hand and I hold my breath.
