The door

She looks at him with eyes of the glee,
 and a heart craving dreams,
"Step through,and let's enter the other side,
Where the lost and found all unite, 
Where we-"

 when he cut her off,
"But who knows, what hauntings it hides?
The deep darkness, the gloriously terrifying tides?

What if we get stranded on the ocean floor, with ocean eyes, after stepping through the door?
What if we end up untied, 
which is way worse, what if the world doesn't abide?"
She replied, 

"Oh those who don't, can go to hell,
 I don't care, 
all I need is you. 
I have got all the happiness in the realms and everything I need as long as I have you by my side. "


And so she convinced him too,
Lost in each other's eyes, hand in hand,
 stepped into the other side.
