Honoured with love

Sixteen years of age...

Seven months + two weeks pregnant...

I'm standing under the window that belongs to my love. I look up to the sky and let my eyes feast on its natural beauty. The pitch-black ocean with speckles of light reflects how I feel. In a sea of darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. A slim chance that things may just work out and everything will be set right. I breathe in the cool summers night air, slowly exhaling it from my lungs. The slight pinching sensation it creates in the back of my throat. Reminds me I am only human and I can't control every hurdle I come across. 

I came here to see my Celeste, to tell her I love her and to show her, I will be here for as long as she will have me. I start to whistle our favourite song.

~Just the way you are~ By Bruno Mars. 

Moments later, she opens her window and looks down at me with a sweet smile on her beautiful face. I continue to whistle the whole song just for her. Being held captive under her deep blue eyes. My heart sings for her and my eyes bleed to feast on her. 

" Ti amo!" I say loud enough for her ears only. 

"I love you too Gio." Her smile grows bigger. 

I get on one knee like a man would to propose to his lifetime lover. 

"Be mine always and forever." I reach into my back pocket. Pulling out a Lockett pendant on a silver chain. 

She gasps with shock.

And that was through gritted teeth. Slowly I was able to bust down those walls she put up and niggled my way into her glorious heart. Never in my brightest days, did I ever think I'd fall so hard for her. Like a
