I don't think I have anything of substance to say, except that this is a continuation of the same song that the last two went with.

Enjoy!
"Sometimes we don't say a thing,
Just listen to the crickets sing."
We Don't Say a Thing
It was quiet, except for the chirping of the crickets. It wasn't their normal, upbeat music, owing to the humidity of the day that remained stubbornly into the late evening despite the drop in temperature. Instead, a slower, more melancholy symphony was being played.
Not a word had been spoken by the pair laying in the grass for quite some time. An outsider may have thought they were asleep, but they were merely in a state of silent correspondence. It was a favorite pastime of theirs. Such correspondence can only be successful when two people are so deeply in love that over time they've studied each other carefully, with the eyes of someone looking to understand and appreciate. For instance, one may grow to know what a certain gesture, expression, sigh, or touch meant without a verbal statement attached.
Max and Mariam had that intimate relationship. They loved one another with such passion that many people believed impossible for someone of their ages. But Max and Mariam were used to going against the status quo. It is true that one hears of young people who have no business of saying their temporary fling is love, but that wasn't so for these two.
Honestly, how often does one hear of a typical 'in love' couple of today who can be content by merely being in each other's presence? Not very often at all. Therefore it can be said that Max and Mariam's love is untypical and goes against the modern meaning of the word. Hey, it works – they're one couple who's managed to stay together.
A/N: I suppose I can tell you the results of my poll now. I'm sure I won't be getting any more votes from you all, since you probably already voted. Like I said, I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.
I got three votes saying I was eighteen, one saying I was seventeen, one saying I was fifteen, and another one saying I was fourteen.
I was surprised that fifty percent of you guys thought I seemed like I was eighteen. I'm only fifteen I'll admit sheepishly. I don't like being fifteen; I don't get along with most people my age. In fact, people do say I seem older, so I guess I wanted to put that to the test. Thanks for your input at any rate!
