Today was a special day, our anniversary. We had been dating for a long time, but this date always reminded me of the first emotions, the first kisses and long conversations in the dark. I decided that today we should celebrate this event like never before. We chose a restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, where the dimmed lights created an intimate atmosphere. At the table by the window, I reached for his hand and felt the warmth of his presence envelop me. We talked about how time flew by, how our feelings changed, and how we learned to understand each other despite all the obstacles. Every moment was filled with happiness. I laughed, and his laughter sounded in my heart like a melody that is hard to forget. After dinner, we went to his house. The door opened. There was silence all around, broken only by the sounds of our breathing. We went up the stairs, and as I turned around, I caught his gaze—there was the same excitement and expectation in it that I had. We got up, and he led me into the bathroom, where a soft light illuminated the gloom. Our lips met again, and the kisses became more and more passionate, while drops of water slid over the skin. I could feel his presence becoming more tangible, as if he knew that I needed him at this moment. I clung to him.
