I watched raindrops race down the sides of the windows as the streetlights shone overhead.
Her head rested weightlessly against my shoulder.
She looked so peaceful;
Quiet;
Simple.

Everything was calm in her life;
Like she had enter the eye of the storm.
For if she was fighting a battle within herself, they had called a cease-fire.
It was a moment where nothing worried her;
Nothing caused her pain.
I knew that within her silence she was at peace.

Her eyes were softly closed and her breathing was deep.
I wanted to hold this moment forever.
For I knew that when she opened her eyes the fighting would continue.
I knew that when she opened her eyes everything would swirl;
Her world would turn into a sea of worry;
Where the waves crash hard;
Attempting to shallow her whole and drag her down into its depths.
