No One's Pov
He lifted his guitar up out of the hard black case. His deep brown eyes glowed with excitement as he turned around to face her. She looked up and grinned her signature smile from where she sat. The sun was just setting and it's orange rays shot vertically through the tall pine trees. The two sat in the center of a very small woods type of field. Thankfully, a tree was grown every twenty feet away from each other so they had comfortable room to sit in.
He sat across from her and brought the guitar into his lap with him. She watched him waiting. A spiral notebook was in his lap under her right hand where her pen was held. Inside was every single one of her amazing lyrical songs. She was a songwriter. He wrote the music behind her lyrics. The two just created one during the weekend before and were finally ready to play it together.
He started strumming the guitar not taking his eyes off of her. Her eyes brightened in what he was playing. She loved it. But, before she could start singing her lyrics, he sang his.
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
Her breath caught in her throat. She didn't know that he could sing, much less write lyrics.
He looked up to her and she nodded. Receiving the message that he wanted her to grab his notebook, she did and saw that he was already on the page that these lyrics were written on.
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
They then started to sing the chorus together, her harmonizing.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
His eyebrows shot up and he nodded to her to sing the next verse.
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
He then started to harmonize but his voice faded. He was caught in a trance by her voice. As if she has been familiar with this song for a long time, she just sang. His eyes widened at her. The sun was reflecting off her blond hair and her brown eyes sparkled. Her voice was right on key; not a note off his strumming.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
With a chuckle and smirk on his lips, he started to harmonize with her; stronger voice than he had used before.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
She opened her eyes and they were staring at each other. Not shocked, not awkward, but lovingly. He realized that they were both leaning in and he smirked.
"Come on." he muttered very softly as he rose his hand signaling her to come closer to him.
She smiled then quickly pressed her lips against his. He smiled into the kiss and pressed harder. He pulled away first.
They just looked at each other grinning. Then, they laughed a little and went back to playing the music.
She was smiling the whole time she sang and a certain gleam in his eyes portrayed that he was the luckiest guy in the world.
Just because of a simple song he wrote.
