They came into her place, late;
and they entered her bedroom.
She approached and came quite close to him
then, they kissed.
He started to unbutton her…
but, suddenly,
she said,
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
He whispered,
“What happened?”
She cried
and
said,
“If we do, you won’t be beside me tomorrow morning.”
He just wiped her tears and
said,
“If you don’t want to, we won’t.”
They just kept staring
at each other,
and both
started softly crying.
Wiping each other’s tears, they started talking while in each other’s arms.
She fell asleep; meanwhile
he kept talking, and, when he realized, he planted a kiss on her forehead
and also slept.
Next morning…he wasn’t there beside her.
When she woke, alone, she was very upset; almost in tears.
Then, suddenly, the door opened and
he entered with breakfast and tea.
The sight of him uplifted her;
she smiled, and,
it seemed as if the whole room lightened.
