A Gap So Deep

The air felt refreshing, like a seaside daydream. Every morning, this cozy bed felt empty, yet oddly comforting. Upon the soft blankets, she rests, his arms wrapping around her. He couldn’t care less about standing up and getting some breakfast. No. He would stare into her eyes. After all, it was her eyes that he loved.

He could rest in them forever… he can hold her forever. If he could, he would marvel at those tiny lips of hers. There was something ethereal about these lips. Soft baby lips on a soft baby face. He reached for them and touched them lightly before the urge to kiss her quickly took over.

This moment, it was so special. It made him feel as though it brought him one step closer to her heart. That this bridge between them could finally topple down and get soaked in the ambiance.

If only she was there.

Yuuji smiled, then exhaled with a slight disappointment.
