Life
goes by The first leaves of the tree,
So here we go The thunder and the rain, Oh, The ocean and the sky
Every day's a brand new sky
Every tear comes to dry
All that really matters in this crazy world
Is you and I
together, baby just remember...
The way you look at me,
A thousand chiming church bells ring
The simple things are free
The sun, the moon, the stars,
The
beating of two hearts
How I love the simple things,
The
simple things just are
Let's just dance
Teach my soul to take this chance
Put my heart in your hands
Out of all the moments that we leave behind
Turn around and
tell me baby we'll remember...
The
way you say my name
After all the clouds go by the simple things
remain
The sun, the moon, the stars,
The beating of two
hearts
How I love the simple things,
The simple things just
are
The way we feel tonight
I
know that it's the love that brings the simple things to light
The
sun, the moon, the stars,
The beating of two hearts
I love
the way the simple things,
The simple things just are

Leaning against the doorframe, Sydney took in her and Sky's shared bedroom. One would think that with two varying personalities there would be utter chaos, but the fact was, their room was perfect. It remained pretty clean, except on laundry day or if they were going on a date. Their bed was lined up dead center of the room between the door and the large window. It was neatly made with the navy blue and white comforter and sheets Sky's mom had bought them.
Their closet was to the right of the door, open, but it wasn't a mess either. Clothes were hung up, shoes stacked neatly, and drawers closed. Their bathroom, which was done in a white and light coral pink, was tidy and as organized as possible.
Overall, their room was simply decorated, which suited their combined tastes. Pictures of their parents hung on the walls with pictures of them with their friends. "What are you staring at?"
Sydney grinned when Sky's arms slid around her waist and his lips connected with the side of her neck. She sighed happily and leaned back against his chest. Their careers were hectic and far from a clear cut right and wrong, but being home with each other was the best balm she could think of. They lived a normal, simple life. When they stepped through the front door, the Power Rangers, the police officers, and Syd's pop star image were left behind. They were just Syd and Sky, two people who were wildly in love and enjoying their lives together. They both made the effort to spend time with the other that didn't involve the outside world, which was just fine with her.
"Sydney, did you hear me?"
"I was just realizing that for all the prestige of our jobs and our lives outside of this apartment, when we're here, we live a very simple life."
Sky seemed to contemplate that. "Well, honestly, the you and me that live here are simple; we can be us, we don't have to be the people everyone else expects. We're both homebody's, and like the no mess, no fuss route. It shouldn't surprise you that our life is simple inside of these walls."
"Very true," she murmured. Despite her reputation as a spoiled princess, Sydney truly was a calm, casual person at heart. Sky was the same way, despite his sometimes sarcastic, stick in the mud attitude.
"Ready for dinner?" he asked softly.
"Yeah. What are we having?"
"I'm not sure, I figured we'd go out, someplace simple and uncomplicated."
Syd laughed at his poor excuse for a joke and nodded. "Let's go."
