It's strange
We lay on the bed for the next 15 minutes listening,
listening to the silence that crept between us
amid the beats of our hearts. I stare into the ceil to see
the stars beyond, and in that fleeting moment, I wonder,
"Isn't it strange... Isn't it strange how a stranger
for 20 years of your life comes by and just stays, forever?"
I slide my hand into hers to hold it tight.
The sky was clear again, but a storm was born
in our hearts as they had synced
to the after drops of the rain falling on our window sill,
innocently to each other. The storm is calming. She places her head onto my chest and holds my hand tighter. Vulnerable, we felt, but in the right way. She looks up into my eyes, caresses my lips and says, "Isn't it strange...?"
I nod with a smile, kiss her forehead and whisper,
"Goodnight."
