The only thing I can do now is to make these moments unforgettable and to let her know it’s going to be alright. Love her now, because she is here now and tomorrow is promised to no one.
And so I lift her and hold her to me before bringing her to the bed and setting her down on the mattress. We look at each other for a minute and we get lost again, one in the other, as if nothing else in the world existed.
She and I, one body an infinite love. I pull off the sheet that she’s wrapped in and look her intensely in the eyes.
“I want to feel you again, Alex. Again and again…” I whisper in her ear before entering her without hesitation, without tears and without any fear.
She welcomes me, holding my glance, letting out a quiver as soon as our bodies come into contact.
And it’s music to our ears, our bodies that move together as if they had always been doing it because when you have become one person, all you need is that look of confirmation letting you know that you are in the right place with the right person.
With the person made for you.
And as I go deeper into her, she continues to look in my eyes I can feel that nothing else matters, all the rest can go to hell because as long as I’m looking at her, when I can make love to her, everything will be fine.
It has to be.
I push inside of her, surely but sweetly as she caresses my shoulder, my arms and my back running her fingers over my body and leaving little scratches on my skin that make this love burn for her in my veins and every other part of my body.
Her most intimate part squeezes against mine in a warm bite and I’d like to stay there forever when she grabs onto me from behind, using her nails and wrapping her legs around my hips. I can feel that I’m close to coming and that I can’t hold back much longer.
“You are the woman of my life,” I tell her before closing my eyes and letting it go.
I quicken the rhythm to come towards her in pleasure and in love.
To unite us now and forever.
And nothing in the world could cancel it out or take this away from us: she and I, naked, hot, one in the other—this moment of happiness will be with us all our days regardless of what happens tomorrow.
“I will be yours forever,” she says, with her hand in my hair. “Just…don’t let me go, okay? Keep me with you.”
I smile at her and kiss her lips before telling her another one of my lies.
“You will always be with me,” I promise her. Then I lay close to her and pull her in even closer.
She relaxes and turns to one side, her warm naked body pushing against mine, reminding me of what we just did together.
Love.
One, perfect love.
I hug her, kissing her shoulder and praying that whatever it is beyond this earthly life will help me maintain this promise because I can’t do anything less.

ALEX
I watch him sleep while I wait for my father to come pick me up. I want to watch him for a little longer, to fill my eyes with the very image of him.
He’s handsome and he’smine.
I still can’t believe what just happened. We made love. I felt him inside of me for the first time. I felt his love mix with mine, the fusion of two souls and two bodies that belong to one another forever even after life is over.
We were made for one another and nothing could break our bond, not even death.
He moves in his sleep and turns onto his back. The sheet is barely covering him and I sigh a bit heavily at the sight of so much nakedness, so much perfection that I’d like to see it next to me every day.
“Were you staring at me, by any chance?”
