Look Inside
by Silvina
"I love you."
He said it often. And why not? It was true, and there
was just
something endearing about the way Benny blushed
whenever he did.
The reply was always there in his blue eyes, but Ray
understood that
he wasn't ready to say it outsold yet. He didn't
really care, anyway.
It was refreshing for him to feel it and say it and
say it often. He
sometimes felt like he was making up for every time
Benny hadn't heard
it.
Ray didn't need to hear it; he knew it. He did need to
say it, and
Benny needed to hear it. So once again their biggest
differences had
become part of how they worked so well together. The
things they had
in common, a deep need to protect and love, also
brought them closer.
Ray smiled as Fraser looked up and blushed. The simple
things just
are.
The thunder and the rain
The way you say my name
After all the clouds go by
The simple things remain
The sun, the moon, the stars
The beating of two hearts
How I love the simple things
The simple things just are
