Slide

With Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls playing in the background, she feels beautiful. A smile stretches her lips, and she can't help but feel her heart pound and pound. Each second giving out more happiness to the next. He lives with all her faults, and kisses her cheek lightly whenever she doubts anything about herself. He squeezes her hand making her heart pound anymore. A giggle escapes her mouth, and red races to her face, but then he flashes that grin. That grin that could give world peace a run for it's money if he let it.
The way he sings into her ear makes her want to cry. The way he dreams so big for the both of them. The way anything is possible in his arms. Those strong arms, that never seemed important all those times before. He slides right up next to her like he was meant to for all of his life. He doesn't judge, he doesn't get mad, he doesn't lie. By standing there, with his arms wrapped around her those scars on her own arms are erased. That smile stretches her mouth again, and she never thought it'd be like this again, but here he was.
It's an ecstasy between them, it's a blindness, it's a waiting and a patience for something greater than they ever imagined. He's erasing her sins and doesn't care how she used to deal, but living alone on how she feels. He tells her he'll wait forever, he tells her she's beautiful, and it's only good to be alive when being with her.
All you can taste is this moment, all you can breathe in is every day coming and going, there's no need in missing anyone tonight. He tells her this, and she knows it's right.

Slide comes on again, and the smile hits her like a ton of bricks. She opens her eyes and he's right there and she slides right on next to him, wanting to breathe, taste, feel this moment forever, and the pains of every day life drift away in the blink of an eye.
