.......Her & Him

...Tell Me ....

"Tell Me ! " she demanded with a seriousness as she  looked deep into his eyes . "What ?" he asked , knowing where this was leading after the long talk the other day ."You know ! I want to know ! " she replied eyes fixed on him "You said you'd tell me and I want to know ! ". Turning he walked away , he knew it would happen and as much as he wanted he also dreaded it , how fast time had gone and now here he was  ! " You said you'd tell me ! " she spoke louder now ,she needed to know and he would have to her as she now demanded it .She had caught him and he knew she was serious so slowly turning he looked at her " Okay then " ..motioning he pointed to the couch , " Best sit down ".

He sat there as he tried to figure out the best way to start this while he felt her eyes on him . Turning he smiled at her " So ! , you have any questions or should I just start ?"." I just want to know ...well everything ! " she replied and he saw how she didn't take her eyes off of him ." Well it starts off in a funny but good way I think " he replied ."Sorta creeps up on you without you really knowing " .He looks at her expression and bursts out laughing ." What ? " she asks ." Why are you laughing ! I'm serious ! " she says with a almost hurt look in her eyes and he see's ." Okay , kinda hard to explain but I'll try and if you need to ask questions then do so okay ? " .She just stares at him and he wants to say the right things but also not hurt her or give the wrong impression ." Maybe we need to go for a walk , you know along the favorite path ? .Well her eyes lit up and that smile came back and again he saw

" Tell me " his voice demanded as tears fell , " I want to know " and she was still , this had been coming and she knew she would have to have this talk .Sitting down beside him she took his hand " Well I have known you would ask " she replied , "It's time we talked " and she tried to figure out how she could express herself in a way he would understand ." It started a long time ago , but it still feels like yesterday " and looking at him and those tear filled eyes she cupped his head and gave him a kiss on the forehead ." It started out kinda in a funny way but in a good way " . He just stared at her waiting ."Well ? what was funny ? " ...she laughed at his response , and looking into his eyes she saw and she was taken aback .'"Well it always seems funny in the beginning but it has to or it would seem odd " There was a slight smile that he had and again she saw

"Well It was just something that was meant to be I guess " she said ," Some things are better if we don't realize what is going on " .He had that confused look on his face and she was trying but it was awkward and she was trying to figure out how to do this ."Should we maybe go outside , you know , Maybe walk to that spot ? " A smile came across his face , he knew that spot well " Yes , I think we should " he replied ."Okay then " she said as she got up , holding out her hand to see if he would take it .He got up and walked past her to the door , opening it he waited "Well come on , this could take a while and I want to now ! " he replied holding out his hand  .She softly took his hand and looked at him , and again she saw

......Her........

Walking along the path they looked at the flowers where they remained, " See how pretty that one is " he said as he pointed to one flower .The color had become his favorite and hers ."Yes , it's my favorite " she replied stopping to look at how delicate it was ." See how everything fit's together perfectly . even it's flaws disappear in itself "Looking at him she asked "What does that mean ? It's perfect ! " Smiling he answered " Yes it is " .Looking at him with confusion he see's he needs to explain "We forget the flaws when we are seeing what is beautiful , We just need to be able to see it even if others can't ". And as they continued along they came to one flower with a broken stem and she reaches to it as he watch's ."This one is broken ! " and as she wants to break it off he grabs her arm "No ! , even when broken we need to see it for what it is don't we ?" he reply's .She looks at the flower and then him " I think I know what you're saying , something can be beautiful even if broken ?" to which he smiles , "Yes . some things we can't fix but we can still see as it was even if broken "" Not everything stays as we want but if we remember we will always see beyond what our eyes show us .And as he looked at her she had that smirk that had always made him smile and again he saw

" So what was it Like ?" she asks ,those eyes are fixed on him as he looks into her eyes  . " Well It started like that first flower we saw , the perfect one ". And it became quiet as he saw her eyes and expression said she was waiting for more. Looking he saw the bench and motioned for her to follow as he sat down ." It starts as a seed , you plant it and watch it grow , not all are meant to grow some never do , some start and die some just wither away , but there's that one that does and it's perfect " . "And you watch it and admire it , take care of it and it brings you joy to see it every day " ."That's how it was , everyday was a new day , each one was held  ." .....Smiling she knew what he was saying ....."And ?" came a quick reply .......Well sweetie , everyday I held that flower and when it became broken I still saw what it was "...."And that flower did something magical , it threw seeds and those seeds are there to remind me everyday " His eyes swelled as he looked at her , she was the image of her mother and everyday he saw her in her in every way...." So it was the best feeling in the world then "she said ."Yes sweetie , and you are here to remind me every day and so that feeling stays with me each and everyday ,and one day you will find that one that you will know was the one " .Smiling she pulls in close and gives him her biggest hug ........"I miss her to "  

...Him......

Walking out they headed towards the spot  they both knew well , many hours had been spent there by both .He walked ahead of her and she watched , he felt the need to touch everything along the path .Smiling she watched as he saw everything as they went along ."Always be aware of your surroundings " She said out loud . He turned to look at her and saw how she smiled at him " That's right ! " he replied .Soon they were there , finding the spot was easy as it was worn down to the ground , how many times haven't I been here she thought .She watched him find the stump and sit down , eyes staring outward ." What was it Like ?" he asked staring away as she tried to find a way of telling him ." Well , remember walking here ? how your hands needed to touch everything ? " Well what we touch stays in one way or another , if done  right it remains and becomes a part of you and those around you ". .." Huh ? " comes a reply , " What does that mean ?" .....Smiling she kneels down beside him , "Well sweetie ,If you would walk here and break everything as you went there wouldn't be anything left but what was destroyed right ?" He looked at her and she saw he was confused ."Well it's how we do things and how we treat everything that is remembered .Some people are like that , every thing they touch and by that I mean with who they are and not the hands " and she has to laugh as she remember his hands ,"They leave small pieces of themselves every where ". He looked at her in that way she remembered and she couldn't help but smile and again she saw

" I think I understand "he replied ,and for a moment it is quiet , " What was your favorite thing you had that you remember  "she asks him . As she waits he looks at her "Buck " that's my favorite thing .Smiling she knows , Buck was given to him when he was just a toddler but that pup and him became inseparable till the end of it's life ." Yes , you and him were as one in so many ways , he protected you and you him and you were the best friends right ?". Smiling she sees he is remembering " Yea ! we took care of each other , we were the best buddies " "Well it's like that and more , when you touch someone and they share that feeling it is something I can only wish that you find one day " And that's how you touch someone , it's not by the hand but by the heart and if it's done right it can't be taken away " He slowly turns towards her as tears start to flow ." Kinda like Dad did ?" he asks ."Yes exactly , he touched many people and we were lucky to have him and I see him in you everyday " " He left his mark on all of us and so he still is here " and as they started to walk away they stop to look back at the stump standing alone and she looks at him and again she saw
