Mark POV
The morning came quietly. It was really quiet. The rain had stopped. This meant that the smell of the earth was in the air. The rain also brought something into the air. The scent of the earth and this new thing were together, in the morning air. The morning air had the scent of earth and something new.
I woke up. I just lay there for a bit. Lyra was still asleep beside me. Her face was really peaceful. Her hair was all messy from sleep. Everything about her seemed calm and pure. I kept looking at Lyra taking in how quiet and still she was. Lyra's face was beautiful even when she was sleeping.
I brushed my fingers through her hair. This time it felt different. It felt like the start of something between the two of us, like the beginning of a new chapter in our relationship. I had this feeling that she was talking to me even when she was fast asleep. Her presence was talking to me directly. That was a really strange but nice feeling.
I could really feel her words. She is like a healing stone. This healing stone has a way of making you feel calm and relaxed even when you are feeling down. Her words are very soothing, like this healing stone. They can put you in a calm and relaxing situation.
Lyra woke up. Her eyes slowly opened. She said, "You are awake early, in a quiet voice because she was still feeling sleepy.
I said that I am. I gave that reply.
"Bad dreams"?
I shook my head. I just did not want this fun with the fun to end. The fun was really great. I wanted to keep having fun.
She smiled a bit. Her smile was the kind of smile that you do not want to stop. "Then do not let the smile go, " the woman responded.
I leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on her cheek
You really made everything look easy. The way you did things was very simple. You made everything look easy when you were doing it.
She said it is soft when the thing is really real.
We stayed there for a bit just talking to ourselves. The morning was really nice. It made us feel happy. We told ourselves that we can get through the times that are happening between us, the relationship problems that we are having and we can survive what is going on between us.
All of a sudden my hands were wrapped around Lyra's shoulders. "You are thinking again" Lyra noticed. What if the world remembers me I thought about the world remembering me. I was really scared about what would happen if the world actually remembered me.
She sat up a little in front of me. Her eyes were full of kindness and happiness. We will remind them of the person they have become, not the person who is going to inherit everything. The man that I fell in love with.
I just had to believe what she said because at that point everything she told me seemed true. She was really good for me. My heart felt better when I was around her. My heart felt happy when she was with me. She was like a person who made my heart feel good. I felt like she could make me feel better when I was sad.
I was finally out of bed. Lyra came over to me. Put her arms around my waist from behind. I could feel Lyra's touch. It was nice to have Lyra close to me, like that.
What are you thinking again? She said
What will happen if they find me I think to myself. The truth never hides forever, Lyra. These words keep going through my mind. Her hands, beside me, tightened. Do not let it take away the person Lyra has become. I tell myself not to let it take away the person Lyra has become.
I looked at her face. "You have changed everything, " he said in a voice. I am really confused because I do not even know how to deal with the situation that the changes to everything have caused.
I wanted to tell her much more but the words just would not come out. So I kiss the girl slowly and deeply, her lips trembling against my lips. The kiss was not just about feeling passionate, it was about feeling a connection with the girl.
When they broke apart Lyra looked up to me. Said, "Promise me something." Lyra wanted me to make a promise to Lyra. I was wondering what Lyra was going to ask me to promise Lyra.
I do not want you to walk away from this situation. I want to deal with it with you. Let us face it and figure it out with the problem together. Do not leave me to handle the problem by myself. I want you to stay and help me fight the problem.
I am giving you my word I said that. I mean it.
We stood there for a long time. The world was against us. We had each other. Two hearts that were ready to face anything that came our way. We were two hearts, against the world.
Something really touched my heart. I knew the sound was really good.
Lyra looked at me " What's it
I did not answer. This was a tough moment for me. I just had to go to a place where the atmosphere meets the horizon to catch a signal. The signal was what I needed to do something about in the moment, with the atmosphere.
Lyra got up from the bed. I saw her walk over to the table. She turned to me. Smiled. She said, "It is strange, yesterday you were a stranger in the market, now I know Lyra and you.
It sounds really strange and weird that you and Lyra are in my life now. You have gotten to know me.
Lyra and you being in my life show how life can sometimes be that things can happen quickly.
I just stood there for a moment. Then I gave her a really gentle smile. The past has been pretty tough for both of us. "Maybe we have both been waiting for someone to really get what the past has been like, for us and understand us."
She looked at me and said, "You still seem like you are a million miles away. I can see it in your eyes when you look at me. Your eyes tell me that you are still thinking about something "
It's hard to stop thinking about everything I left behind. It's frustrating at this moment, but at the same time, it's built me in some ways.
I just have to admit it, now all of a sudden I should just give it up like it's nothing. "Lyra I'm not. I still look lost, but that's not my fault. I still need some time to heal. It might take some time but I will be alright.
Sometimes I wonder if peace is real.
She said, "It is real Mark, you just need time to heal.
I told them that I really do not know what I would do without the people I care about, like you, I said to them. The people I care about, like you, are very important to me. I feel this way about the people I care about, like you.
Lyra smiled. She said "You have to find out about this thing called the truth, the truth is what you need to find out.
There was a moment of silence between us - no words, just movement. I leaned towards her, my forehead resting in hers. You make me believe again,
Lyra's eyes looked really shiny. She said we should not waste them. I told Lyra that I will never.
The town of Noctrya was waking up. The kids were laughing and having a good time..
Where I was it was quiet. I could hear the people of Noctrya talking and whispering to each other. I could hear the noises of Noctrya all over the city.
For once I did not feel like running. The town of Noctrya and its streets were all I could think about.
I thought about her too. The street of Noctrya was a place. The wind was blowing and people were happy.
This made me think that sometimes, when we are in pain, we can find peace. The problems that the town of Noctrya was facing were like cracks in a wall. They could be fixed.
Everything around me was a reflection of who I am. My weakness and my strength are a part of me. Recently Lyra had told me something that I still think about.
I know I should try to forget my past. The thing is, I still need it. My past is a part of my journey. It is a part of who I am and what I have become. My past and my journey are connected to who I have become and I have to accept that.
Everything has been really calm recently. The pain started to heal. I still feel the pain. Now it comes and goes. It is like when you want two things at the same time, and you can only have one of them.
With Lyra, I did not have to worry about anything. Lyra always stood with me, no matter what I was thinking. Lyra always found a way to make it go away. Lyra has a power over the walls of my heart. Lyra does that without trying.
However, Lyra was the reason I am still here, and I am glad we know each other. I heard footsteps that looked like it's coming from my door. Lyra was still asleep
