Alas, I have to leave this moment. I put on yesterday's dreams, smelling of last night's moments unforgettable. I follow my footsteps from the window to the bed and they lead me back to you, with the covers over your face. In the darkness you feel secure, and in the cloudy sunshine I feel nervous. Anxious to see your face, but fearful that it's someone else. I creep up slowly to the bed, but you feel my presence and remove the covers to show your body, exposed and no longer safe. It's been ravaged, with lust, with raw emotion, with passion and excitement. Is that all it was? We're not sure, which is why we're in this moment now, laying next to each other, in a silence. We want to tell each other the same thing. That it was real, that we're there. We want to comfort each other, because we're safe now. We want to say "everything's okay" but that would be an understatement. Instead, we just look into each other's eyes, and I move my arm to surround your shoulders, and you twist to fit the empty space that was between us.
We stare out the window I opened, watching the raindrops come down. Today is probably the darkest day that this city has had in a long time. It's cold, dim, and bleak. Yet, to us, it's the most beautiful day we've come to see all year. Not because of the Wednesday morning rain, not because of last night, and not because today will be our lucky day. No, it's something much more than that.
It's because this morning, we woke up next to each other. And every night we slept alone made this moment. It's all we needed, the moment we realize something special.
The moment we realize the world is most beautiful in its darkest moments.
