drabble of some sort 5/8/2010

I don't even know why I wrote this or the purpose or anything, but here it is.

The stars were bright that night. I remember it well. Unlike here, the city lights were covered and provided merely an ambiant glow to guide the way rather than a blazing flash of white that drowned out the sky. I wanted to mention that to her, but it seemed redundant. She had grown up here in this city rather than the bustling metropolis I'd come from. The whole city was gorgeous and it was filled with music and fetivities rather than speeding cars and police sirens. How could she want to leave all of this? I hadn't even been here two days and I'd already fallen in love. With more than the miasta setting.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" I turned to her. Her eyes were on an accordian player, pulling and pushing his instrument. Polka music streamed from its bellows to the amusement of the gathered crowd. In front of him, a cup full of gold coins glinted in the street light. A few of the people had started to dance and the rest clapped along to the beat.

"Yes." She said simply. She turned to me and smiled. "Don't worry."

"But it's so peaceful here. Where I come from, I'd give anything for this." I leaned on the railing of the balcony we were standing on. It overlooked the square and offered the perfect view of everything. I almost wished I was just one of the normal civilians dancing without a care in the world rather than what I was. What we were.

"This has been my home for so long. I think I'm ready to leave." She walked over and stood beside me, leaning on the railing as well.

"It's a big risk. What if we don't come back to Krakow?"

She went to say something and then paused. I looked beside me and she was gone. I only worried for a second before I felt reassuring arms encircle me. "You took a big risk coming here." I closed my eyes and breathed in. The scent of her, cinnamin with a hint of apple, filled me. I felt tears come to my eyes. I turned in her arms so I was facing her and hugged her back. "It's going to be fine."

"Yeah," I sighed, tears coming to my eyes. "I just...What if people won't let us be? What if something goes wrong? This whole thing, what if --" She put a finger to my lips.

"You worry too much." And then to make sure I wouldn't continue with the what-if's, she brought her lips to mine.

There would be lots of worries and trials on the way. I knew this beyond a doubt. For right now, though, we had this moment to hold and it would be there to carry us along whatever we would face along the way.
