Lexa’s feet took her across the studio, balancing and playing with the music. Raven stood in the corner of the room, eyes transfixed on muscles gleaming in the moonlight. The smooth tempo, the ‘80’s synth tugging on her heart strings as her girlfriend made her weak in the knees.
There’s so much tenderness in your loving.
Raven couldn’t believe she had to leave again to finish her project. It was the last time she was going to be flying over seas, but also the longest time her and Lexa would be apart.
God give me strength when I am leaving.
Lexa’s eyes met Raven’s as she moved back across the room, taking their fingers and interlacing them, pulling Raven across the room. Their arms wrapped around each other as Raven leaned into Lexa’s neck, breathing her in.
Hold me in the darkness
The embrace brought a flood of emotions from both of them, as the music kept them swaying. Lexa gripped Raven’s shirt a little tighter in her fingers, not wanting to let go.
Raven pulled away a little, wiping the tears from Lexa’s face. “I love you, baby. Please don’t cry. Please.”
I can’t believe this pain, it’s driving me insane.
“I can’t help it. I’m going to miss your touch...” Their lips met in a soft kiss.
Without your touch life will be lonely.
“I’ll call every day. It’s going to be over before we know.”
“I know, but...”
“It hurts, I know.”
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we’ll be back together someday.
A few more weeks, just a little longer and the project would be done and they could spend their days together.
They slowly made their way to the floor wrapped in each other’s arms, the cold studio floor not bothering either of them. Raven knew the time to take her suitcases and go was coming, but for now, to be in Lexa’s arms was all that mattered.
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
