I will be forevermore drowning within the depths of you.” © JL Thomas 2019 I tenderly cup Helena’s face in my hands and look deep into her eyes – They’ve widened. I then tell her, “I’m not just falling in love with you anymore, Helena.” She looks saddened and a little confused. Her voice barely a whisper she asks, “You aren’t, Darius?” I hold her gaze. “No, I’m not.” “Then…” she pauses and blinks, “… you… you don’t love me anymore?” I smile and gasp, “Oh, my darling angel, I do love you, more than you will ever know.” “Then what do you mean that you are not just falling in love with me?” “I mean…” I take a huge breath and say, “I’ve fallen into you.” She frowns. “Into me?” “Yes, into you.” “Can you enlighten me?” I do just that by explaining to her that she is like a comforting azure warm ocean. Her tone light, she questions, “I am?” “Yes, you are and do you want to know something else?” She nods and I answer, “After we had shared our first kiss, something magical happened to me, so therefore I want you to know that I will be forevermore drowning within the depths of you.” © JL Thomas 2019
