His hand cupped the side of her face. She leaned into it placing her hand over his. There was something peculiar about the way she stared back at him. She was radiating, blooming with adoration and smiling sweetly as spring’s first nectar.

“What are you looking at?” he asked. 

 She sighed longingly, “Your eyes,” she glanced over at the car radio then back, “they are reflecting the lights. It is as if there are galaxies resting inside of them.” 

A slight pause. “Warn- warn me next time you say something poetic like that,” befuddled he tried to find his words, “so I can have something to say back to you.”

If even two perfect people can have problems together, where does that leave the rest of us?

In all my craziness and parts I hate about myself-- you accept all of it.

I state an irrational fear-- I’m afraid of being told that I’m not supposed to be with you. I take your hand as we sit in a long silence. I draw my hand out of your grasp. “What does this mean?” you ask, with confusion swirling in your eyes. I smile at you and cradle the side of your face with the curve of my palm.

Take a moment, remind yourself

To take a moment and find yourself

Take a moment and ask yourself

But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here

It was a random thought. Spending time with you is anything but boring, yet I’m afraid this is the first loose thread which unravels everything.
