We sit in silence. It hangs like a sweet lullaby between us. Only our own breathing to interrupt like silent whispers too divine to be said aloud. The silence was calming; an air of revitalizing vividness seemed to surround us as we sat on the couch within my living room. I had never felt this before. So at peace with myself and everything that before bound me down in my misfortunes. I have hid within my life of lies, my life of betrayal, the life I had never asked to live. Yet now if one were to try and take my life from me, I would fight with everything I had every shred of strength and will. I would even go so low as to beg, for this life of mine that seemed to finally be turning around.

As we sat in our serene silence, I turn towards him to find he has been studying me. I look into his eyes and see numerous emotions pass through them. The eyes are the window to the soul, for the eyes cannot lie and because of this I have always relied on looking into the eyes of an individual to see what they truly mean. And when I look into his eyes I see so many emotions, emotions that no man has ever shown me. No man has ever looked at me like he is right now. And I suppose that I am looking at him the same for he smiles at me. I feel the smile tug at my lips but I refuse to let it show and I end up with my sideways smile. It is then that that he brings his hand up to caress my cheek. It is then that I bring my lips down onto his. It is then that the secrets of the dark that had once hung in between us are answered. It is then that we both know the truth that had been unspoken for so many years. It is now in this moment that I know that everything I have been through thus far has been worth this.

Tonight I plan on holding this man, not just as a friend consoling each other in the darkness, fending off one another's demons within the darkness. Rather I plan on holding him as my lover, whispering sweet lullabies to each other throughout the night.

A/N: Again, long time no see. Hopefully this makes up for it a wee bit. And hopefully the next chapter will be coming along soon.

As always reviews warm my heart.

P.S. Does anyone know why I no longer recieve emails for reviews? And if so is it fixable so it does it again. Thanks.
