it must be just...a human thing to do, to imagine how beautiful the future can be. and even in the most simplest experiences, someone like me could find the purest joy. i was sitting on my couch and a picture kind of just popped into my head...just one of those smiling ideas.

she stands in the kitchen, dinner just beginning on the stove. he comes in, and with coat and shoes still on he sits down and sighs, tired. leaning forward he places his head in his hands, and just focuses for a short while on breathing. it's been a long day at work. unable to resist and let him have his time to detox, she walks up to him quietly and kneels next to where he is sitting. taking one of his hands away from his face she presses it to hers and then gently kisses it. she closes her eyes, simply holding onto his hand, willing any strength that she had, that he could have it too. he stands up quickly pulling her with him into a gentle embrace and then he holds her. just holds her.
a tear falls down his cheek.
and in her heart she is just praying, begging God that she could even begin to help. she prays in her heart that her love could sustain him, that her love could make him smile, could bless him even in his darkest hours.
because she loves him. she always has. even before she met him, he was the man of her dreams. and love, that's forever. for always.
that's my day dream. or one of them, i suppose. that even when the shadow is darkest, love can shine that light, casting aside all despair and fatigue and in it's place there is always, love.
