Because She Danced

He cursed himself as he walked inside. She was dancing, carefree, innocent, and alone. He promised himself that she would be the one thing that he wouldn’t ruin while he was here. He had only two weeks before he was shipped back overseas where he couldn’t do anymore damage. But she was dancing in the middle of the room with her eyes closed. How could one woman look so free in so small a space?

He couldn’t hold it back anymore he just had to touch her.
She stopped and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw him standing by the open door she smiled. He couldn’t do it anymore. He couldn’t keep the distance anymore. He rushed forward and gathered her into his arms to consume her. He silently cursed himself and prayed that this time he wouldn’t hurt her. That he can love her and leave her whole.
