A stilled moment

I took a picture, perfectly stilled a moment in my life that should never end. And in this moment there is only you and me and the rare silence of my mind. Contentment. I want to lie in those arms a little longer, my safe haven from the reality I’ve grown to despise. But in this moment, I am without worry, without pain. And reaching out for the comfort of your hands again. The sound of your subdued breath calms me, and all seems right in the world.
