He turned off the lights…

 

He turned off the lights.
She laid the blankets on the couch.
They lay down.
They were silent for a moment.
Without touching they were closer than ever.
Without conversing their minds focused on the same matter.
After a full exhale he took a deep breath.
A leap of faith, some might say, is a completely contradictory phenomenon.
The act of surrendering all of yourself through exercising utter control.
Inside him unfolded a silent battle or a deafening nonevent:
One must…One should…One might ought to….
One wishes…. One would like…. One craves…
A Hellerian question in the dark:
„Wanna do something stupid?”
„Stupid like…?”
Her words landed directly on his lips. A wordless eloquence we never dare dream of while speaking.
A brief half-separation: „Like this.”
The dark appreciated the smiles only it could see.
The silence was much less amused when heavy sighs evicted it from the room.
