Sleep

"Don't cry,please don't" he said softly while she cried in his arms.He helplessly looked down at her and brushed a few strands,tucking them behind her ear.Every tear she shed stung him,it burned his soul;He wished he could make them stop..
He pulled her closer and rested his chin on her head while she sobbed silently and gripped a fistful of this shirt.She was afraid to let go,even for a minute.
"Don't be afraid" he murmured reading her thoughts but she just shook her head in response.They sat in silence for a long time.

Breaking the silence,she looked up at him and into his warm brown eyes,and asked "why..?why me?why you?why us..?",waiting intently for his answer.Looking into her eyes he saw an eternity of pain she hid so well;He pressed a kiss to her forehead and said "What's meant to happen,will happen". "But why?" she persisted,
" Because there is something better waiting for you" he replied. "I don't want something better,I want what I was given" she said stubbornly. " Change is constant and you don't always get what you want,you cant live in the past..." he whispered..she drew back and looked away,still clutching his shirt tightly...

Pulling her closer once again he wiped the sparkling tear which rolled down her cheek and wrapped his arms around her. Resting her head at the base of this throat,she finally closed her eyes while he sung her to sleep..
