to stay-

she presses her head against his chest to hear his heart beat. she wants to remember what it feels like, sketch it into her body making it natural. making it hers. maybe then she'll be able to replay each beat over and over again when there is an ocean that separates them. his cheeky little laugh, his beautiful smile- oh how it is her favorite of all smiles. a dream is what he is to her; a dream she hopes never to awaken from.

if tomorrow must come, let it arrive with him at her door. and if this chapter must come to an end, let him be the beginning of another, further into her future. he just has to be there, somewhere along the inked lines..

to stay.
