As I sat there I thought about a lot of things. Things I had never thought of before; things that had come into my mind just a while before. I gazed at the stars, pondering what to do next. My heart wanted to guide me, but my mind refused. It hurt to hold back, I really didn't want to. My mind wandered into places it hadn't before, and I didn't know what to do. I had to follow it, I had no choice.
I sat there on the warm sand, the gentle breeze blowing my hair back. The water was a mirror, reflecting the moon's glowing beauty in the warm night. I closed my eyes and listened to the water lap upon the shoreline. It felt like I was alone in the world, and it was only me. But then I looked over to see him sitting there gazing off into an imaginary world that I couldn't see. No noise could be heard except the water. All was quiet.
We both sat there looking up at the sky, and a sudden streak of light flew through the air. In my mind, I wished for us to be together always, and never have to worry about separation. That was all I wanted.
He had given me so much to be happy for, and I loved him for it. He changed me from a homeless and hopeless girl into a successful and nonetheless beautiful young woman. I wasn't sure exactly how, but he had done it.
I rested my head on his shoulder, and he put his arm around my stomach. We still didn't speak; we were quiet as the night was still. Both of us were thinking the same thing. Of course neither of us would admit it, but we knew it was true. The look in our eyes was a calm one, which symbolized steadiness and compassion.
Without one word, I let my head rest upon the sand. The entire time, my hand was closed in his, as were our hearts. We were joined together by our love for one another, and that bond could never be broken.
I was no longer afraid of him; I knew I could trust him no matter what. He was my husband, and would be forever. We would go through everything together, no matter what the circumstances.
