I close my eyes, humming as I begin to play the rhythm, singing each of the words in my head- lost in the music. Each note echos through the room, my hand travelling up and down the frets, thumb hitting the bass string every other beat. I reached the chorus of the song, eyes still closed. I was listening to each and every note, how they all fit together like a thousand broken shards of a single plate. Like a thousand drops of water in an infinite sea. And when the song finally came to an end, I opened my eyes slowly, looking up at her. Her expression was only what one could describe as awe, her eyes softened, mouth slightly open.

But then something hit her in the head, causing her vision to blur and everything to go dark. *** In the darkness, there were whispers. She was in a dark room when a familiar voice entered. "What happened to her?" Leonardo became enraged, and his hands clasped hers. "Angela?" Angela then realized she was in her room. And she needs to open her eyes to see if she's dreaming or not. Then she noticed Leonardo's worried expression as he continued to clutch her hands. His grip was becoming tighter and more painful. "What happened?" Leonardo inquired again.

The song she picked was Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift that featured The Civil Wars. “Just close your eyes…the sun is going down…you’ll be alright..no one can hurt you now…come morning light…you and I’ll be safe and soooooound….” she drew a small crowd as she sang “Don’t you dare look out your window ..darling.. everything’s on fire …the war outside our door keeps raging on..hold onto this lullaby even when music’s gone…gone…just close your eyes …the sun is going down..you’ll be alright now one can hurt you now..come morning light..you and i’ll be safe and soooound…ooooh…ooooh…just close your eyes…you’ll be alright…come morning light..you and i’ll be..safe and sound…oooooh….ooooooh….ooooooh…”

I want to dance with her while I am staring at her eyes before this night ends. “Your eyes can see, what they can’t see As the darkness end, I need to kiss you goodbye I want to hold you close for one more time And feel the warmth of my love and the longing of my heart Because tomorrow will bring the new pains to our lonely hearts” She holds me closed while we are gently swaying to the music. I know she won't want to let me go but I have to go. I looked into her eyes one more time because I don’t know when I can look into her eyes again.
