Corbyn's Point of View

As we sat and looked at the night sky, I held her as close to my body as I possible could. I didn't know what was scarier, her thinking I might leave her or me thinking of myself leaving her. 

I could feel her body still shaking from her dream, so I lied my head on hers and started humming.

I was humming the music to 'Little Things' by One Direction as I felt her calm down, a little but at a time.

"Bean," she said, her voice shakier than earlier.

"Yes love," I said.

"Could you sing the words please," she asked, moving her head so she could smile at me.

There was this glisten in her eyes that you could only see when the moon hit them. There was a certain angle her head to be at for the glisten to actually show. As she moved her head to face I saw the glisten, and then it disappeared. When we were looking at the night, every now and then I would look at her eyes to see if the glisten was there. Sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't. That was a unique thing that only she had. 

"Of course I can," I said. "You wanna dance too?"

"I would love too," she said. 

She grabbed my hand and we started dancing around my bedroom.

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind it was meant to be
And I'm joinin' up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved you stomach or thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let your little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You never love yourself half much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right, darling, but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you

And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you, oh, it's you, it's you they add up to
And I'm in love you and all these little things
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you and all your little things," I sang.

As we stopped dancing, Michele just looked at me. As I was looking at her, I saw the glisten in her eyes. 

Her hair was glistening in the moonlight now too.

I couldn't believe that the woman standing right in front of me at this very moment in time was going to be my wife and hopefully the mother to our future children.
