Forever in his eyes...

This is an excerpt from my second book... I thought this went well to follow the Love in the Moment rant. This is really how I feel about love... I hope you enjoy these short paragraphs.

"I do not look at you and see the future."

"Gee thanks doll. That really makes me feel better."

"Well I am sorry, that you seem to have taken that the wrong way. I do not look at anyone and see the future. I do not want to. If I look ahead like that I may end up disappointed when things do not pan out that way. So I only look around and see this moment with you. That is all I want to see. That way if we do not have this great and glorious destiny ahead, we at least have right now. Right now, I am happy to be spending this moment with only you my lover, for in this moment I love you. As long as I love you right now what else matters? There is no one in the world I would rather share this moment with. Just because I do not see forever in your eyes, doses not mean I would not have that if it happened that way."

"You're beautiful when you are like this," He just smiles at me. I hope I have not hurt him in this.

When all is said and done with, and all my roads have been walked all I can hope for is that all has gone well. I know when love is involved that nothing truly goes right. All I can hope is that I have not broken too many hearts along the way. Even more so I hope I have opened more eyes than I have destroyed souls. I hope Robert is not among the casualties in my war. Like all wars I fight for freedom, or at least the illusion of it. To have Robert means I am not truly free, but I can not decide what it is I want more. For the moment at least I want him. I lean over and kiss him. "Darlin, stop worrying about what is ahead and the state of our relationship. Just tell me you care, and I am happy."

"I care baby. I am pretty happy too."

"Good I hope we stay this way."
