We Are Together

He made it easier by making everything harder. Damn him for being likable. It was his fault she was so happy.

the girl's known trouble
the wind's to blame
it blew her to anytown usa
that's my middle name

She managed to feel a thousand shades of color inside of the small spectrum of her heart. She hated and loved him, but the hate was bleeding out, like a slain dragon with its throat slashed open.

and where we go
remains nameless
a motion picture
alive and frameless

Arvel cooed within the framing cool of his arms. She approached delicately, wrapping her arms around his neck.

she's got that sadness
she twinkles like a witch
and you conjure a love spell
i'm gonna give a five-year itch

Her touch made him stiffen slightly. Then a smile appeared upon his lips.

She wiped it away with a kiss.

the setting sun at sadness beach
just in view and out of reach
resign myself to solitude
when love is hard to get and rude
and though i said i did not care
it was way before we'd gotten there
winded by the fruitless chase
until i saw you face to face

"Thank you."

"You don't have to."

"Yes, but I want to."

He shook his head; the hair he'd cut for her shining on his shoulders, shining like gold melted and cooled.

She ran her fingers through it before she left him there alone.

together
finally
and the dog caught up with
the rabbit is laughing hysterically
and we are together
you and me

She heard his laughter by the doorway. Like ice cream, it melted over her tongue and soothed her, drowning her in the creamy white.

"Don't say it." She warned.

He said it.

"I got you."
