A & I

It's simple really.

Skinny Love

Two friends, afraid of something more.

************************************

We're on my bed and his fingers are tangled in mine.We almost felt like two puzzle pieces, connected.

Our eyes were trained on the high ceiling above us, a blank canvas.

His voice comes out soft and gentle like a lullaby.

"Do you ever think about what it'd be like if we didn't have each other?"

I turn my head to look at him, my eyes landing on the mole at the side of his chin.

"No, it would be too painful." I say honestly.

He sighs deeply as he runs a hand through his hair. His deep brown eyes meet mine for a brief second as he replies.

"Think about it Ay, What if this is all the time we have left together?"

I abruptly sit up and turn to face him, the bed dipping from the sudden movement.

"Ian, it's us, we have forever."

He grabs my arm and pulls me into his side. I can feel him inhale as he presses a kiss to my head.

"With you, forever just isn't enough."
