She Starts

She starts, “You don’t understand, you’re the reason why I’m…”
He says, “crying?”
“Still here” She finishes.
She run’s away with tears in her eyes and thoughts in her head.
Would he really notice if she were dead?
She remembers the reason why she never ran .
She remembers how he kissed her each day.
Does he understand the way she feels?

She looks back and sees him there.
With tears in his eyes and rain in his hair.
“I love you can’t you see?”
“But what about…”
He looks at her and holds her tight.
“When I’m with you it all feels right”
“I love the way we can talk about anything, I love the way you hold me, I love the way you make things seem perfect”
“Babe I love you and I’ll never leave you”

They walk away together.
No longer as a her and him but as an us.

As they walk down the street
Hand in hand.

We’re in love.

As they walk down the street
Hand in hand.

Weâ??re in love.
