A/N: I know this is kind of suckish but it seems like it's been a while since I've written a drabble. (Even though it hasn't been.)

Enjoy?

Painted Love

With each stroke of his brush Max thought of her, the fight they'd had, and the words they didn't mean. The image of her angry face still scorched his mind to think of. He wiped sweat from his brow as he painted his finishing stroke.

After seeing his work, he hoped she'd make amends.

Mariam stomped into her room. She was stuck in a limbo between forgiving Max and thriving on words that burned deeply in her heart.

Wrinkling her nose at a foreign scent, she turned to her east-facing wall and gasped. She stared at the newly painted portion of her wall with a stunned expression loitering on her features.

This boy knew his way to her heart; it was, after all, a path he'd worn well. Painted on her wall in gorgeous lettering was the sweetest thing Mariam had ever read.

My love for you is:

A bird that soars through the sky,

A fountain that never runs dry,

A feeble man who won't cease to try,

A soldier not afraid to cry.

A child who will always reach,

A perfect pearl upon a beach,

A lunatic who now can preach,

Independence that does beseech.

I love you more than love itself,

I refuse to leave you by yourself.

No matter how hard things may get,

Remember, we're not over yet.

"Mariam?"

She whipped around and started slightly to find him inches away from her. How he'd managed to get so close she had no clue.

"I'm sorry." he whispered, his face now even closer to hers.

Mariam smiled and threw herself into his arms. She pressed her lips strongly against his but as quickly as they were there, they were gone.

"Me too."

He grinned and stole another passion-filled kiss. When they parted and were reveling in the last remaining bits of a fairy tale ending, she looked up at him.

"I can't believe you snuck into my room."

A/N: You don't have to tell me it sucked. It's just here for inspiration. In case you were wondering, yes, I did write that horrible poem. You only have me to blame. XD
