Through a veil of snow, I stared at him, beyond words.
The life he envisioned had been a secret dream of mine ever since I realized my feelings for him years ago. Even before I was aware of who I truly was, and even before we had crossed the line that kept us apart, I had imagined in my wildest fantasies that one day, there would come a way to rid the barriers that lay between us. I had imagined that one day, I would be able to stand by his side proudly as his equal, unafraid to declare that I was his, and he was mine.
