I found them out laying on the grass the sun kissing their skin.

Alex sat, legs extended, leaning back on her hands – face towards the blinding light.

Sarah laid, left hip pressed to the earth, cheek resting on Alex’s thigh – eyes closed.

It was almost a crime to encroach upon their stillness, but whether you were interrupting or not, they never seemed unhappy to have company.

I sit down next to them, staring out in to the fields.

Alex greets me with a smile and slides the sunglasses from her hair to rest on the bridge of her nose.

“Nice day.” I comment. The weather, how original.

She nods, “Beautiful day.”

I look at them, I wish I had my camera. Something to hide behind, something to put in front of me, something to stand between this purity and my tainted heart.

Alex hums a tune and Sarah sighs. Constant contentment.

“How do you know?”

How do you know it’s her? How do you know this is where you’re meant to be? How do you know she won’t hurt you? How do you know to give in to her completely? How do you know this is for you? How do you know this love can last a lifetime, maybe longer?

She looks down at Sarah, “There are lots of reasons, millions even… But none more prevalent than ‘I just do’.”
