under the stars

My friend and I sat under the stars on a causeway jutting out into the sea. At one point, I moved my body and we rested on one another back to back. It felt so beautiful, the world felt at ease. I felt warm, and there was this feeling I could not describe. We touched, but I was scared.

What is this feeling? Who is this person who came into my life just six months ago? Why do I feel light and happy to see him, to hang around him, to lie next to him? I'm so afraid. So afraid.
What is he feeling? Doesn't he have a partner already?

I'm so afraid, feel so vulnerable yet comfortable. The sky, the world, the sea all around us... And we sat there in silence. I sat next to him and felt warm inside...
