A FEW MISTAKES

     SHE    HAD     NEVER    FELT    MORE    at    ease    than    when    he     held    her    in    his    arms   .    her    head    is    rested     against    his     chest     as     she    listens    carefully    to    his     steady     heartbeat    ,     something     she     knew    would     calm     her     down     in    times     of     high     stress    .    an     intimate     moment     shared    between    the    both     of    them     in     the     midst     of    a     world    determined    to     tear     them    apart    .     arms     are     carefully     wrapped    around     broad     shoulders     as    she     can     feel     the     both    of    them    sway    slightly     to    the     silent     music    that    played    in    their     heads    ,    for    as     she     felt     the    loving    kiss    become     placed    on     the     top    of     her     head     she    couldn ’ t    help     but     smile    .    pulling     her     head    away    from    his     chest    just    for     a    second    so     she    could     take     in    the     pure     adoration     that     was     expressed    on     his     face    ,    for     in    this     moment    nothing    was     more     clear    besides the     fact    that    no    matter    what     this    world    was    going    to    bring     to     them    that     they    were     going    to    take    it     on    together    .
