They sit on the hood of the car The guy wearing a hoody The girl a long sleeved shirt Her hands curling at the end if the sleeves exposing only her fingers His hands are in his laps playing around He is afraid that she might not think he is enough Despite years and a loving relationship he still fears that his inadequacy will destroy his happiness She fears that he'll leave her because she isn't beautiful enough She thinks that his eyes will open one day and he'll leave He extends his arm and puts it around her shoulders In a seamless motion That suggests it's an action that has been done a million times She rests her head on his shoulder and he turns his head and kisses her head It's a moment of pure beauty And in that moment he knows that to her he will always be enough And she knows he only sees her It is in all respects The perfect moment*
