Color Me True

""Love doesn't die."" The intensity of her words and her voice grew exponentially now, for she'd said it and only then did it finally hit him - he shifted, moving closer to her, his eyes still closed - she'd said it ... and then he smiled inside, because he realized in that moment that they really did have a chance to survive this thing between them. For if she believed that love didn't die, then somewhere deep inside she must believe in love. And in that belief, despite certain misgivings she might have on the viability of relationships - Nik Gordon believed in love, the kind of love Clay had given up on, the forever kind, the kind he wanted to believe in again - and like she said last night... she wanted this, whatever this was ...she wanted it with him. Having put those final missing pieces together, Clay's mind effortlessly wandered to their magical evening last night - deeper and deeper he went, allowing himself to rest his weary mind - for he had indeed found clarity, he found Nik ... and she found him.
