Him&&Her <3

The early morning sun slanted through the window
And a beatific smile lit up her face
A soft breeze ruffled her chestnut hair
And her pale eyelids fluttered open.
Her heart aches to hear the sweet melody of his voice
The smooth velvet of his mahogany voice,
The magical words that he uttered
I love you.

He kicked the blankets off his body,
Her face filled up his vision and he smiled,
He turned around,
And his phone rang, his alarm,
It was sunshine on the line,
The one with a smile in her voice
The one who started his day with love
The one whose voice he craved every minute.

“Rise and shine lazy bum”
She sang, her exuberance overflowed from her voice,
It was the best part of her day,
Hearing his cute little mumbles
As he repeatedly muttered her favourite words,
I love you
And she rattled off about how he should be studying
And he’d only say, “But I love you”.

It might seem silly, immature even,
But the love that they shared
It was immeasurable, intangible
It was something the world couldn’t ever see.
She felt it in the adrenaline that pulsed in her
He felt it in inexplicable happiness that enveloped him
They fought and they made up
And they stuck through tough times, ready for what was to come.

They had only just discovered the lover in each other
But the intensity was so deep
That no one could have known that, even if they tried
And their love would only get stronger.
They dreamt of the future, of a beautiful wedding
And lifelong companionship
And their faith in each other only continued to grow stronger
To form an eternally inseparable bond.
