Stone And His Truth
The morning was peaceful, it was how it used to be. I loved our used to be's, they were always perfect.
A moment I could be stuck in for an eternity and love it just as if it were happening for the very first time.
Something impossible, only made possible because of him.
"You're still here." I stated, his brows raised with clarity, as he stood from the wooden chair, and over to the sink.
"I am. So are you." He replied calmly.
"So things went well with Iven?" I attempted to pry once more
"No. they didn't." Clearing his throat he turned around with his arms over his chest.
"My brother can stop by anytime, any day, he'll be here. I made an agreement. And he is the only person that knows where I am. He knows nothing of you, I kept your wishes.
You don't owe me an explanation."
He declared in finality. Holding his gaze for a long while, he moved closer to me. Pulling out a chair and sitting on it the opposite way. "You're going to ask me why, aren't you? Why am I asking you that when I already know that is what you are going to do?" Smiling, he rested his chin on a balled fist. Just watching him ramble, I waited until he found the right words, because he always spoke nonsense to stall for his wisdom."Grant my love, I don't want to know how you knew my mother's name. I don't want to know why you ran away from me, why you wanted Iven to know nothing of you. There are just things, I would rather not know. I'm not the kind to ponder on the unknown, but I will ponder on what I know. I don't want to question you. Who you are, where you came from. All I need to know, all I want to know is when I want you near, you'll be there. When I need you to talk to me until I fall asleep, you'll be there. When I can hardly think straight, and I need you to keep me sane. You'll be there. Because somehow, you were sent to me. The way I see it, and when good things randomly come into your life. Why waste it questioning its integrity, when you feel it, and you know it is something spectacularly unexplainable?
You lose the good things when you question, when you neglect the way it transforms you, and your life. That is why when you left, I accepted it, for what it was. I accepted that you made me happy, and you changed my life for the better Grant. Accept the good, and accept the bad. Because in the end, I believe it is always for the better, something lost is something earned. I've lost my family, because I chose to. I'll admit I was a bit troubled for a moment, yet in that moment, came...you. I know this world is evil. They wrongfully crucify, they're hypocrites, they're heartless demons, and they are blinded by their arrogance. Grant, my mother did not have to force me to live behind walls all my life to know that the world we live in, is nothing but a nightmare. I knew. Because I wouldn't have had to endure that painful loneliness had the world been loving, and kind. My mother feared for me, and that is how I knew. But I wanted to experience it on my own, and when I questioned on actually going through with it, in that cold cell. I was actually going to be content with being secluded to my mother, my father, and my brother's. But that was not the life I wanted. I didn't know what kind of life I wanted. Until I met you. I didn't know you. I didn't question on if you were a drug addict, if you were racist, if you were just sitting in a dark alleyway for nothing. If you were one of the good people, or if you were one of the bad.
For some reason, I let go. I let go of the second guessing, of my thoughts, and I listened to nothing. Not even my heart. I had no idea that I was sitting next to the love of my life, that I had found her, the day I was sent to jail for my stupidity, and when I was released from my captivity to find you again. The good things.What is a question? What is an answer? You cannot defy what feels right. You shouldn't. You didn't. That is why you are here, with me. We are the good, and the world contains the bad, what people are afraid of, and what they don't understand. And if there is a we, there is everything I need. Everything I need to know is you and I. When you know, what is the point of questioning?"
If I had a response it would have been of my breath, and not an actual thought of plausible intelligence.
Once again Stone had made me lost for words.
But I understood him. Every single thing he said, I knew of him before I met him.
I just didn't expect to fall in love with him. And the way my heart sat in my hands beating faster than the pace of a firing bullet. Was because it was incapable of functioning inside of my chest.
When I was around him, when I listened to him speak, and how I felt when he looked at me.
"Come with me, Grant. I want to show you something." Smiling, I shared the same.
"It better be exciting then." Taking his hand, he led me.
"Oh I promise babe, it'll get your heart thumping."
"Care to explain why it is now?"
"Hmm.." kissing my cheek gently he tapped my forehead, "I was going to ask you the same."
