Too Far

477

Starsky just needs to know that Hutch will be close by. Thanks to Kristie from the SHF&FF Facebook page – her comment about loving the line “Don’t go to far,” gave me the inspiration for this story.

“Don’t go too far,” he asks, those blue eyes showing a fear and loneliness only I can see.

As if he has to ask – I would never go too far from him:

                Especially when were are in a place like this,

                Especially when I know that his life is in my hands,

                Especially when I know that without him my life would be meaningless.

Doesn’t he know we are connected by a bond so strong that we will never be apart?

Looking into his eyes, I see that he knows and that he feels the same about me.

He just needs to hear it…from me.

“Never,” I say without speaking.

“I’ll be here,” I say out loud, reaching out to touch his arm.

“Don’t go too far,” he asks silently, those blue eyes showing a peace and security that only I can see.
