Can We Just Be Happy Now?

  It was a rainy day, the sky was grey and the weather was cold.

You said your favourite kind of weather is a rainy day.

  Right now, you're standing in front of me with your 'rainy day' outfit. Smiling up at me with pleading eyes.

You said, "Let's drive, I wanna take you to my favourite place.

And it's not that far away."

  You wanted to bring me over to your secret place, you said it was best to go when the weather was pouring and cool against one's skin.

  It was just a twenty minutes' drive, you led me out of the carriage with an umbrella into the woods through an unsuspecting bush.

  Behind was a nice little pavilion with windows from the floor to the ceiling. You pushed open the door with familiarity, setting aside the umbrella at a corner.

I know you're afraid of jumping in too fast,

Because your heart is still healing.

  I know we should not rush it, our families are against us. The world is against us.

  But...

It'd be a shame to waste the chemistry we have.

So let's stay in the feeling and

  Just stay with each other until we can no more.

Even if it doesn't work out.

Even if it doesn't make sense.

  In the end, we both know...

  One of us has to leave.

  Our families would fight it out, two whole kingdoms are at stake.

  Between us two, one has to die.

And you never see me again.

  I'm sorry, one of us has to leave the other to suffer.

  So,

Can we just be happy now?

  Can we take what we can now, love when we can. Do whatever we want until this is all over.

  Can we be at peace in each other's arms in the midst of this chaos?

Even if we burn this down.

  What if... when the war ends and both of us are alive at the sacrifice of our family?

Even if we can't be friends.

Cause you hate me in the end.

  Would that mean we can't be seen together? Would one of us have to run for their life for the rest of time?

  Would you hate me if my family killed yours?

----

My heart is begging not to let my head get in the way,

And I think you feel the same.

  I've thought through it so many times.

  Many times I just want to give up. Say to my family that I surrender, that I'll stop coming to you.

  But my feelings always win over.

  And in the end, I'm here in your arms again.

Scared I might be falling for you way too fast,

Because my heart is still healing.

  The last time I had someone love me, they turned around with a stab in my heart on our wedding day.

But how can I say no when you've been looking at me like that?

  The way you look at me, it's different from that time.

  The love you have.

  It's real.

So let's not overthink it and

  Let this all play out, I'll give you my heart and you've already given me yours. We will stay together every day like this. I'll run out every day secretly, escape the guards, we'll meet up at this little pavilion.

  We'll go have picnics, we'll ride horses, feed the little animals. We'll hug and kiss under the starlight.

  The next day we went to a beach, far away from prying eyes.

And all I know is here in this moment.

Sun is still setting over the ocean

And you're still kissing me so.

  You laid down on the cloth, I sat in front of you enjoying your back-hug. You fed me grapes, I fed you light kisses.

  Under the sunset, we shared a warm and long kiss. Full of love and affection.

  Decades later, the war had ended, we lost our lives and the two kingdoms had fallen. I admired your figure as you watched the people from the cloud mirror.

"Anything interesting?"

"Nothing much, just the Couple's Festival in progression."

  We're happy now.
