His and Her Sonnet

Dedicated to Amrutha and Lee ^_^

It was raining outside. The water pressed against the window,and the rain gushed like an excited child. The chilly air made goosebumps of her fair skin rise like pink dots,trailing across her bare arms. She wrapped herself more securely in a blanket,and listened to the quiet rhythmic breathing on her side. She rolled over,and watched his face with a smile.
Boy or a man?
She couldn't tell. It was a face of a boy forced to grow up into a man,but the sleep smoothed out the hard mask,his face was peaceful.Her eyes were tender as she watched him,each second,never getting bored and reveling in the slow movement of time as she watched him sleep.She sat up,her hand on his forehead,as if she wanted to be a part of the place where he found peace. I am right here, she thought as she watched him.You just have to open your eyes.

The rain was like a curtain that separated them from rest of the world. Like a tiny,peaceful bubble. The chilly air had made goosebumps rise across her fair arms,he traced them absently.
Woman or a child?
He couldn't tell.She gazes with that soft stare that knows him much more than he does. Yet,he sees her grin playfully and launch into an excited chatter like a child,her face dissolving into endearing childishness which changes into a woman's mysterious knowing smile with unnerving speed.
She closes her eyes and lays her head on his chest,like a content kitten curling up before the warmth and he holds her there,much more content than he has known himself. He watches her sleep,watching her innocence effortlessly blending into sensuality...still wondering,marveling about the woman with him .
