Soulmates
“Only love makes you that crazy sweetheart”
“What’s your dream?” She asks curiously
“My dream?” He asks, confusion lacing his tone
“Yea haven’t you thought about it?” She says

He looks at her in disbelief but doesn’t oblige and so he gives the thought a chance to linger in his mind.
“My dream is too convince you to design a smile just for me” He says in pride while seeking her reaction, only to find her cheeks damp and wet, covered in a natural blush.
“Don’t cry lov-“ and before he could finish his sentence he was embraced in the arms of the love of his life.

Also understand I am NOT a physician and have NO medical background whatsoever. You should always check with your doctor before you change anything in your life regarding your health, like skydiving or maybe having that weird mole checked out while you’re there.
