Say You Swear

“Been looking for me, huh?” I tease, tossing his words from the bonfire back at him.
“Yeah.”

Noah didn’t only come here to check on me; he came to take care of me.

“Say you swear.”

Laughing, he faces forward. “I swear.”

“Say you swear.”

“In case you haven’t figure it out yet, there isn’t a thing about you I don’t like. Nothing.”

“Do you want to kiss me?” I rush out, and then I freeze.

So does he.

He doesn’t move, blink, or breathe.

Noah stares at me, deep into my eyes, and swallows hard. “Since I met you.”

I saw the person I came to see

For the one who feared the fall but dared to jump anyway.
This one is for you.

“You’re my only plans,”

“I want you to stay.”
