Darkness covered my room, like a ocean of black flooded my room, leaving everything painted it’s dark inky color

He sat across from me, quite and unmoving

His presence calmed me, like it always had

But tonight was different, special in a way

We usually were talking non-stop from anything to everything

Laughing and enjoy life with each other

But tonight, a beautiful silence laid between us

Of course, we were both free to talk but this moment, this ever fleeting moment, felt almost sacred

Noiselessly, he crawled towards me and laid down

Taking the once empty space next to me

It was so quite, I could hear our heartbeats syncing up; beating as one

This was peace

This was....

“You wanna know something?” He suddenly whispered

The silence was broken but I didn’t mind

Humming my response, he continue,

“I used to think about my life often as a scary, unending scene. Like everyday is unknown but yet I know it’s coming. It scared me that one day I was just gonna drop dead and everything would be over. But then, not long ago, this girl asked me, ‘hey, do you think of your life as a glass half full or half empty?’”

He stopped and turned to me, “Do you know what I said to her?”

Well, yes, I did because I am her but what is a story if you aren’t to play along?

I shook my head, anticipating on how this moment that happened between us both looked through his eyes

“I didn’t say anything! Because I had not even the slightest clue what I thought! Was I too much of a coward to even say anything or was I just too stupid to think of an answer? Well, it’s neither. I was too dang afraid. But as I lay here, next to you, I realized that life isn’t worth living without risk. Life isn’t enjoyable if I keep living in fear!” He declared, getting more excited as time passes

I smile, even though he can’t see it, because I have waited for this moment a very long time

“So, I have my answer now,” even in the darkness, I could see his smile

I leaned a bit closer, and spoke softly, “Oh yeah, cowboy, what is it then?”

Chuckling, he replied with something so simply yet it was life changing, “I’m just grateful I have a glass and water at all!”

(I know this is kinda trashy but it’s all I could come up with so late at night! Hope you enjoy even though it ain’t the best😬😬)
