One Night

One night
While He lay beside me
His head resting
Rising and falling on my chest
He whispered something I could only hear in the silence
His words cracking my rugged armor wide open
The dying embers of my hesitant heart
At once aflame.
He whispered,
I have never let you wander far from my gaze
In fact
I cannot live without you.
In time
In time
In time
He caressed,
I will possess your heart.
