Inspired by this song x

You sat back in your chair, your eyes glazing over slightly as you stared at the fire blazing in front of you. You pulled the blanket up higher against your skin. The chilly late summer air finally catching up to the night. You looked over at your boyfriend who was sitting silently. He gaze was intense as he watched the flames flicker against the dark night sky. As if he could sense your gaze, Harry turned his face towards you and smiled. He looked over at you with love filling his eyes and you felt your heart melt a little. His admiration for you clearly visible. “You know, I already have more than I should. I have a good life.”

You laughed softly. “Do you now?”

He smiled softened as he leaned back. The fire light danced across his face and you could tell he was immersed in deep thoughts. “I don’t need fame. I don’t need millions of people to know who I am or to see my name in headlines. All I ever wanted was to live a good life.”

At his words you felt all of your love for him fill your chest. This man. Every day this man amazed you. He was so sweet and tender and just wanted to do right by the people in his life.
To hear him talk like this made you want to wrap him in your arms and hold him forever. You stood up, your blanket trailing behind you, and sat down on Harry’s lap. He wrapped his arms around you before continuing. His mouth right next to your ear. His breath playing against your cheek as he spoke.

“I know that sometimes I’m much too hard on myself and that dreams don’t usually come true this easily. I hope that when I look back I can say that I did it all my way. That I didn’t compromise who I was for anyone. That I treated everyone with as much respect as they deserved, if not more.” He tightened his grip around you and kissed your cheek softly. “But I know that right now I can say that I have a good life. I don’t have to worry about much. I have four wheels to take me wherever I need to go. I have a family that who taught me that I had love to share. But best of all I have you. A woman who always has two arms to wrap around me whenever I’m in need. You keep me grounded. When I look at you I know I’m home. No matter where I am, if you’re there then I’m home.” He kissed you softly once more. “At the end of the day, I’ve had a life that’s good.”
