I've Been Missing You

They were meeting up at the top of the hill overlooking the city. He got there

before she did (he was usually early to rendezvous'). He didn't mind waiting

too much, he was used to it in fact. Hands were firmly tucked into the

pockets of his coat for warmth. Restless feet served to keep him pacing,

his breath clearly visible in the air. The chill crept down his spine whenever

it touched one of the few patches of exposed skin.


She was bundled up in layers. Her feet covered in suede boots lined in

fuzzy warmth,legs covered in jeans, two layers of sweaters enclosed

within a faux fur lined jacket. The long and flowing scarf she was fond

of wrapped her neck and mouth. Her dirty blond hair securely tucked

beneath a beanie with a fluffy pompom at the top. She walked within

kissing distance and pulled down the scarf that had been shielding her

face. She smiled as her breath materialized in front of her. Her blue eyes

had always been one of her most striking features.


"Didn't think you'd make." That was a lie, he knew she would. She gave him

a slight punch in the chest, not enough to hurt but just enough for a playful

shove. He grabbed her hand to pull her close. A tight body embrace, their

heads rested on each others shoulders. "You know I've missed you," she said

as she held him tighter, "I can't help it."


That closeness was all the truth or warmth they needed.
