They lay side by side but neither breathes a word to each other
They're angry; they can sense it in each other
Remnants of a stupid fight still lingers in
Both of their minds
It was silly. It really was
What was it even about, anyway?
It's been happening a lot lately
Little arguments over things
Such as leaving a quill on the table
Or the bed unmade
They've been so silly
Words go unspoken in the cold, dark room
Until,
"What's wrong with us?"
The question is unanswered for some time
As they both contemplate it
Yes, what is wrong?
Little do they realise
They've slowly moved closer to one another
It's only an inch, but it's closer nonetheless
"I love you."
"So, what's wrong?"
Another inch closer
"We both love each other."
"Then why aren't we talking?"
It was the simplest of questions, but one that had no answer
Yes, why?
"It's silly, isn't it?"
Inch by inch, they slide over closer
It's not a very big bed, but a moment ago
It felt like an ocean between them
Now it's just a sea
Their bodies are now touching
A hand, then an arm;
A leg, then a face
Brown eyes stare into blue
And there is so much love there
Sadness, definitely
Hurt; yes, that too
But love is the main feeling
When they look at each other
A love that has been there forever, since they were children
It never went away
Not even when they did
His hand reaches out to cup her face
He wants to kiss her, to say his sorry
So does she
It was both of their faults
"I'm sorry."
The words are spoken at the same time
And they smile
Then laugh
Their lips draw nearer and nearer
Closer and closer, until they're just a breath away
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Let's never fight again."
"Deal."
They seal it with a kiss
But they both know it won't be the last
For that's just who they are
They argue, they bicker, and sometimes
They say unpleasant things
But they never mean it
It's always just to make sure the other cares
To be certain that they still love each other enough
To care
And they always do care
They've always cared
That has never changed
They fall asleep after that,
This time in each other's arms
They sleep until morning, until the sun is high
In the sky
Neither move
Not even when a little red haired girl
Comes bounding in, shouting that she's hungry
Not even when her little red haired brother joins her
They just smile
And add to the comfort that is their bed;
Their family
For they created that family together
Just the two of them
And they love that family
More than anything
They're happy together
They always have been
And that is why they can never
Stay angry for too long
Because the love has always been there
Sometimes hidden
Sometimes obvious
But it has always been there
Burning strong
And that
-No matter what-
Will never change
This idea has been floating around for a while, except in poetry format... my fingers just said NO to one-shot. They just kept writing poetry. Anyway, this is my second attempt at a poetry thing really. I'm trying :P I hope you liked, though. Your reviews would be greatly appreciated.
