I hear the crunch of leaves beneath our feet
Our fingers intertwined as he traces the skin between my thumb and forefinger
My mouth constantly opens 
But no words come out
Silence
The wind is still and I still hear the leaves crack
The palms of our hands sweating 
But it is rather cold outside
This is enough
I have longed for this moment every single day of my life and now
I do not want more
For the company of him beside me is just enough
He is just enough
I see the cold air whispering between us
But I am rather warm
And I think that is what love does to us
The presence of affection makes us nervous
We sweat
The presence of love makes us warm
We are numb
We do not feel
because all this time we thought we forgot how to
But there is someone who will make us want to continue walking
Whether it be in an unsure path
And you may feel cracks
And you may feel warm
And scared
And nervous
But that is love
And he is my love
For he has made me feel all these emotions
And when I felt us drift among the debris
He refused to allow it
Because losing himself was less important to him 
Than losing me.
