It was a lonely night. The moon was looking quite bright as we walked down the beach. some how I knew that he wanted more that just to talk. So we kept walking on and on down the beach as the water made a soothing sound as to calm everything. Then out of the blue he grabbed me and pulled me closer to him, looked at me then gave me the most extraordinary kiss a man had ever give a lady. “Well,” he said, “How was that?” I looked at him for once in my life I was speechless. Then he said, “I love you” with the same tone he had had at dinner. I stood there not wanting to break his heart but I had to I couldn't live the lie any more. I had to tell him some time so he could know that I wasn't what I appeared to be. “No,” I said forcefully, “You cant love me for I haven't been completely honest with you.” He look at me as though I was crazy. "I know I love you for you are the piece that fills my heart," he passionately said to me. "I am not what I have told you ".
