"If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity"-Zeed
As she lay awake in bed all she could think of was this was complete and utter insanity. She turned over onto her side and stared at him as he slept. Here she was again, right back in his bed. They had no idea what they were doing. No, that was a lie, they both knew what was happening between them and they both knew how it was going to end.
His past, her fears. Her future, his fears. Their fears were constant barriers that always seemed to come back to life at the worst times. Their moments of bliss were always interrupted when their fears got in the way, when that happened one of them would always end up pulling away from the other. But in the end their need for one another culminated in a push so strong and so deep that they'd end up falling right back into each others arms, where they'd hold on tight bracing themselves for the crash.
It was the pure insanity of love that made them forget their common sense. Their love, them just being together was the makings of a tragedy that was fit enough for Shakespeare.
She knew it, he knew it, and the people around them knew it. But for the life of her being with him was her clarity. He was the remedy to the poison in her veins that life left as the price of living in this world. It may be insanity but she thrived in it and she refused to apologize.
As she laid her hand on his chest, her eyes began to close. She'd fight for this she'd chase him relentlessly to the ends of the earth and beyond. She could pretend and say she didn't know why, but she did, with every fiber of her being she did, because she knew it was worth it. He was worth it.
