forgive me

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees and the sun glistened off the surface of the lake as we stood by the waters' edge. Nate cradled my face in his hand and stroked my cheek with his thumb. He gazed into my eyes and said, "Forgive me." "For what?" I asked. "For this." he replied. Then he slid his hand to the back of my neck and entangled his fingers in my hair. Slowly he lifted my face up to his and kissed my lips. He raised his head slightly so I could feel his breath on my mouth. "I love you" he whispered again and again between passionate kisses. I struggled for breath as I felt his heart beat faster under the hand I had placed on his chest. Only the strength of his arm around my waist held me up. My whole body was weak and trembling as I melted into his arms. He had promised not to kiss me, but I am so glad he did...
