She said softly as she stared out the window at the cars rushing by to their destinations.
"The amount of people that have left your life, entered and stayed."
Her gaze shifted to the person across from her in the booth and she noticed he was listening intently, as he always did and that made her happy.
"The memories you won't forget and the moments you wish you did. Everything."
Her fingertips trailed over the cup of coffee before her.
"It's crazy how all that happened in just one year." She said softly her gaze on his dark eyes.
"It's crazy but look where we are now. Sometimes crazy has to be experienced to get to the place where peace can begin." He said with a gentle smile.
She nodded and she had to smile at the word peace. Was this considered peace? The tumultuous emotions swirling around them and most of what she was feeling was not her. It was a challenge to be this way. To feel so deeply and completely that you could be consumed in one angry rage if it decided to break loose before you. She felt she could be swept away on a tidal wave of judgment and pain and she would have no strength to hold on.
Her gaze lifted to his and then she realized she did not have to have all the strength. She did not need to hang on so tightly to herself now for she had another to help her hang on.
She knew she helped him hang on as well.
They cling to one another riding the ebb and flow of the emotional world and they stand on the edge of their own control.
Her mind wandered for one moment, one split moment she wondered what it would be like to press her lips to his. Would it be fire or calm?
"Fire." he whispered softly and placed his hand over hers, dark eyes blazing and she felt her cheeks blush.
Caught within her thoughts.
Ah well and then she smiled, squeezing his hand in return.
