♡︎sunsets

She walked out onto the porch and watched the sun as it set into it fire-y orange sky. I stood behind her at the door and watched as she was mesmerized.

I watched her cross her arms and sigh with relief. Sunsets indicated that life was calm in the very moment that she was watching them- as she told me.

I carefully walked up behind her and rubbed her shoulders and left a tender kiss on her hair. I wrapped my arms around her to mask the cold and she rubbed circles around my hand.

I remember how calm and happy she was in this moment, forgetting the hundreds of screaming matches we had encountered (including the ones that ended in breakups), the pregnancy scare she'd had just a week before, the cruel world that damned her every step. She forgot about it all, and as I watched her gentleness in this, I captured it as my favorite memory of her.

Her beautiful smile that was wide, her soft lips that were mine, her gentle hair that was flowing against the gentle, cold breeze, tinted with an orange almost as gentle as her smile.

"It's too damn beautiful." She whispered and I smiled and looked at her. She looked back and kissed the tip of my nose. I let go of her and leaned against the post and watched her nonchalantly.

"I love you too damn much." I said and she opened her mouth. She never heard me say those words before, even when she had said them. She walked up to me coolly and hugged me. She pulled away and kissed me and looked back at the sky.

"I got the two most beautiful things in the world right here, right now." I said and she smiled. "Let's go inside, it's chilly." She took my hand and led me inside.

"Ponyboy was right," She began, "A sunset really brings out the best in somebody."
