Pensive (Abby PoV)
A pen.
A piece of paper.
Letters becoming words.
Words becoming sentences becoming a letter.
How many words does it take to say you are sorry?
How many words does it take to apologise?
To ask for absolution.
To ask that he forgives you yet again.
When you've done it again.
When all you can see is darkness.
And he is the light.
How many times can you ask for forgiveness?
For one more chance.
For one more chance to see if you could change.
If you could .
When you don't believe in change.
You have always thought of negativity.
Of things going wrong.
Of kismet and karma and fate and everything else that seems to stack against you.
And him.
Of your problems and his.
Of your family and his and how on earth it could work.
When nothing else does.
And never has.
But then you remember the times
That he has stood by you.
Or helped you.
Of everything that he has done for you.
Of his smile.
Of his kiss.
Of how you feel when you are in his arms.
Or when you see him across the room.
And everything stands still and fades away.
Except him.
And you.
And then he smiles.
And you are home.
