A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the delay this week, I know I'm a day late :P But hope you enjoy!


What's the point in being happy now if you're going to be sad later?

Because it's coming. The sadness.

He can feel it, looming overhead.

He doesn't know how or why or what.

But he knows that this, being happy, won't last long.

It never does really.

She's by his side, eyes closed, small smile on her face.

Content.

She looks content.

It's a beautiful day, the breeze cooling the warmth of the summer sun. The waves are crashing, the second most beautiful sound (after her laugh) in his humble opinion.

It's perfect.

Except nothing really ever is, is it.

There are very few perfect days. Even now has he recalls the morning where they had gotten a bit snippy over the contents of the picnic. Forgotten now but a blemish on an otherwise perfect day.

She shifts so she's laying on her side and slowly opens her eyes at him, blinking because of the sun.

"Hey you," she says quietly and he feels his heart swell at the words.

No days aren't perfect. Moments are.

And this moment where she's staring at him with all the love an adoration he could ever want, stormy grey eyes stilled with that little smirk on her face.

Yeah, this moment is perfect.

"What are you thinking about?" she asks, probably since he hasn't responded and is, in all probability, staring at her.

"Days aren't perfect," he blurts.

She tilts her head to the side and considers.

"No," she says finally. "Days aren't perfect. They're happy."

It's been a really happy day he thinks as they've cuddled up against the campfire later that night surrounded by friends.

But what's the point in being happy now if you're going to be sad later?

The answer is of course:

Because you're going to be sad later.

-.-.-.-

And a month later he's disappeared and all he can remember is blonde hair and a feeling of happiness he needs to find.


A/N: So what did you think? Did anyone recognize the quote? One of the many amazing ones that Doctor Who has to offer and I just felt like writing a little drabble based off of the idea.

Life is always a series of ups and downs, constantly changing, in flux, you're going to be happy, and you're going to be sad and you need both to know what the other is like.

Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

And as always, thanks for reading!

See ya! :)
