Breathe

There was something in the crisp morning air that heightened Desiree's senses. Her eyes fluttered open and she took a deep breath, breathing in the scent of lilacs that flowed through her bedroom window. Something about the fragrance always brought a smile to her face, and as she smiled, she could hear Joey's rhythmic breathing behind her.

--------------------------------------
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've
Never been this swept away
--------------------------------------

Desiree slowly turned her body, careful not to wake the man she loved. He instantly cuddled her closer, as if by nothing more than the instinct of the love that pulsed through his veins. The way the sunlight fell on his features, she could swear that before her, there was an angel. Joey never ceased to amaze her....the way he would know just the right time for everything. He could make her giggle when she so desperately needed to, and at the same time, if she needed his arms, he found a way to hold her just right.

The gentle spring breeze blew the soft blue curtains upward, letting more light flood in from time to time. Desiree settled back into Joey's arms, resting her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beating, and a soft smile formed on her face once again. Her fingers caressed his chest, and a sigh of contentment escaped his lips. Desiree's eyes slowly began to close, and she drifted back into a sweet sleep, thoughts of her love dancing through her mind.

----------------------------------
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away the only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

'Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove, baby all we need is just to be Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
--------------------------------

Joey's body began to wake and as he opened his eyes, he noticed Desiree's beautiful blonde hair fanned across his chest. He brushed it gently from her eyes, and smiled at the sight of her. So many times Joey had his fun, flirting and "falling" for woman after woman, but Desiree....she was different. She got inside him and became his saving grace. He turned to her with everything, and his soul had never been so connected to another as it was to Desiree's.

Making love to her the night before, all of his feelings rushed to the surface, and as he came down from his erotic high, he remembered whispering to her all that he had ever felt.

-------------------------------
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before and I know and you know
There's no need for words right now
-------------------------------

~*Flashback*~

Joey held Desiree's body close to his, both shaking from what they had just experienced. Desiree's eyes sang to him, and with just one look, he felt the butterflies swim through his stomach.

"I love you so much, baby doll," Joey whispered, slowly moving his thumb up and down Desiree's cheek, "You're my world. You became it."

Desiree smiled, just barely brushing her lips against his, before pulling back. Her eyes fluttering open, "I love you, too," she paused as she saw Joey's smile begin to form, "With all my heart."

Cause I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove, baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe

-------------------------------

Joey leaned down and placed a delicate kiss on Desiree's forehead, "Baby," he whispered...not in question, but in confirmation. Desiree was his baby, the one person that he knew he could always count on....the one person whose love was unconditional. She believed in him, had all the faith there was to have in him.

Joey's soft brown eyes were met with a pair of ocean blue as Desiree's eyes opened. She smiled, reaching up to let her fingers run over his lips.

"Morning, sweetheart," she whispered.

"Morning," Joey smiled, taking Desiree's hand and kissing each one of her fingertips tenderly, "I love you." Joey was amazed by those three words and how he could say them over and over again to this angel in front of him, never getting sick of them.

"I love you, too." The way Desiree's eyes lit up at the sound of those words leaving Joey's lips lit him up inside. He didn't think that anything in the world could feel that good...feel that right. Desiree trailed her fingertips slowly up and down Joey's back, causing him to sigh, a mixture of happiness and the sweetest touch of love he'd ever felt.

-----------------------------
Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
----------------------------

"Baby?" Joey questioned, whispering in Desiree's ear, "Could you hold me?"

Desiree melted at his heartfelt words, turning Joey's face so that her eyes could search his, "I would love to hold you, angel. Come here," she whispered.

Desiree pulled Joey close to her chest, and he snuggled to her, wanting to be nowhere else than exactly where he was. No words were spoken. Every emotion in that moment was just understood. It was the ultimate kind of love...it was a love that everyone would hope for. Desiree and Joey found that love. They found the ultimate, and nothing in this world could ever change that.

Being with you gets me that way
