She.

He watched her face as the lights grew darker and the day turned into night.

She may be the face I can't forget

The trace of pleasure or regret

Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay

She may be the song that summer sings

May be the chill that autumn brings

May be a hundred different things

Within the measure of a day

They had spent the day together, doing nothing, just enjoying eachothers company. As the day went by, he found himself enjoying himself more than he had done in months, more than he had ever done actually.

She may be the beauty or the beast

May be the famine or the feast

May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell

She may be the mirror of my dreams

A smile reflected in a stream

She may not be what she may seem

Inside her shell...

They had gone to the beach, swimming and laughing togther and later they had gone to see a movie. When they returned to the poolhouse they were both exhausted and fell asleep in eachothers arms.

She, who always seems so happy in a crowd

Whose eyes can be so private and so proud

No one's allowed to see them when they cry

She maybe the love that cannot hope to last

May come to me from shadows in the past

That I remember 'till the day I die

He woke up and felt something warm lying cuddled up next to him. He turned around and there she was. She was lying there, next to him like it was the most normal thing in the world. Like she hed always done it and alway would.

She maybe the reason I survive

The why and wherefore I'm alive

The one I care for through the rough and ready years

He realised that no matter how hard it was, no matter what happened, it was all worth it, just because of small moments like this, being able to wake up next to a beautiful woman without an ounce of regret in his body. Being able to hold her and call her his. Being able to sleep through a whole night, without a single nightmare.

Me, I'll take the laughter and her tears

And make them all my souvenirs

For where she goes I've got to be

The meaning of my life is

She...She

Oh, she...

As he saw her lying there on the bed, that's when he realised it.

He would always be there to pick her up when she falls.

Because he loved her.
