The Mirror: They have come out of the shower and are standing facing the mirror. He is standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her. Their bodies seem to emit a glow that adds warmth to the room. Softly he whispers in her ears, his voice barely above a whisper. “If it were up to me, you would be like this most of the time when we’re together.” “I know.” she replies. “Because you are greedy.” “Yes I am.” He tells her. “But only for you.” He clarifies.

She rests her head back against his chest. He gently twirls her V-hairs between the fingers of his left hand. “I know that you love me. I can see it in your eyes when you look at me at times.” She quietly whispers. “I know that you love me because I can feel the love radiating from you. Even now as you hold me, I want to make every moment with you unforgettable.” She continues.

They had not completely dried themselves yet and so the shower water covered them like a soft luster sheen. He cupped her right breast with his right hand and squeezed delicately. She moaned tenderly as she took a deep breath.

“How enchanting you are.” He tells her. “If I only absorb you inside of me, you would always be there. I would be the happiest and most fulfilled being ever created in the universe.” He tells her while forming a mental picture of a breathtaking composite being.

“Yes, that would be nice.” She replies, and then adds. “And even better if I absorb you into me. But either way, what a glorious smile eternity and existence would have on their face.”

She places her left hand on top of his left hand with his fingers lightly swirling her V-hairs. She places her right hand on top of his right hand. His hand has delicately cupped her right breast. She squeezes both of his hands. With a sound of rejoice that seems to come from remarkably close and from extremely far he tells her. “I love you.”

A drop of water from each of their bodies falls to the floor. A drop of water that has fallen to the floor from each of their bodies merge and mingles. Droplets of water from their bodies fall to the floor. These droplets intermingle and blend into an unbreakable bond.

He moves to hold her even closer. He slips upon the bonded droplets of water that had fallen to the floor from each of their bodies. This causes both of them to fall to the floor. Laughter comes from their embrace. The bonded water soaks into each of their skin.

Taking her by her ankles he stands to his feet. Right side up, up side down. Her thighs are placed on his shoulders. Her hands are holding his thighs. In a faraway valley, a chick has left the nest to fly on its own. Deep beneath the waves of the sea an egg has become a swimming fish.

Mouths are too full to speak. Deep breathing emits a heavy carbon footprint coming from them. Someone wants to faint. Pleasure wants everyone to stay awake. Two rock objects in one of the Milky Way outer rings collide knocking both objects out of the galaxy. Now in free orbits the rock objects swirl around one another as he lovingly rests her to the floor.

“My heart is beating with each letter in your name.” She tells him. “Each letter in your name is my heart.” He tells her. The sound of thunder forecast rain. Rain is forecast by the clap of thunder. Rain from long ago when the clouds were not polluted. The sound of thunder when the oxygen level of the planet was much higher.

Out of the shower they have come. Into a world of wonders, they have become. Into a new realm of existence, they have begone. The mirror reflects a beautiful picture of carbon-based vapors that have solidified into love. And that love is for one another.
