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.
