Theme: Only Time by Enya

Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose?
Only time.

She could remember it now, that night when they first kissed. Standing above the party, her heart pounding with delight and excitement as fantasy became reality. The taste of his mouth, wine and chocolate, his tongue slipping over hers, causing a shudder down her spine. His arms wrapping around her, blocking out the world. She remembered thinking, This is going to be delicious. This is going to be fun.

And it was fun. But it grew to be more than fun. It wasn't planned, of course. She skated along the surface and ignored the feelings swelling underneath, the words that crowded her mouth when he moved inside her body, the way she wanted to wake up next to him, the way she wanted to show him off.

At night, she wrote haiku after haiku, small and intense pearls that almost glowed with feeling. She kept them all in a pillow book, her own private treasury of love and longing that strung the pearls together in a necklace. Occasionally, she copied one out and gave it to him, if it wasn't too emotional. This was why she only gave them occasionally.

She should have known. You cannot choose the path of love. You cannot choose how it grows. You can only accept or reject.

Time will tell. She knew the truth of that saying better than anyone... and she was quite happy with what it said.
