The library only had dim light. The evening sun was shining into the room through the high windows, giving the room a nice, dark, warm feeling.
I'm sorry So sorry That I was such a fool
There was a soft song playing from a corner of the room. The corner was covered with blankets from top to bottom, the occasional rustling of the blankets being the only proof of something other than blankets there.
I didn't know Love could be So cruel
Under those blankets are four children, all of them five or six years old.
You tell me Mistakes Are part of being young but That don't right A wrong that's been done
One hummed along to the music almost silently, seemingly having every note memorized down to the very second it played. He swayed a bit, just the tiniest bit, to the song. He seemed almost asleep.
Another of the children was reading, his black hair covering one of his eyes as he scanned the pages of the book. The book was bigger than his head and had more pages than any regular child of his age could ever dream of reading. He had a soft smile, Barely noticeable even when looked for.
I'm sorry So sorry Please accept my apology But love is blind And I was to blind to see
The third child was asleep, snoring so quiet you could almost not hear it over the low music. Her orange hair, as bright as the sun, splayed out in the white pillow she had seemingly stolen from the foundation of their mini house made of bedding.
You tell me Mistakes Are part of being young But that don't right A wrong that's been done
The last child was staring at the blanket ceiling of their fort, likely lost in thought. He took a glance at the other three, smiling at the sight of them. He looked sleepy as well, though not nearly as much as the orange haired girl or the boy who was nodding off to the music .His hair, ruffled from lying down, was as white as clean, fresh snow.
I'm sorry So sorry Please accept my apology
All he could think,
But love was blind And I was to blind to see
Was that he loved this peace, and hoped they would always have it as they do now.
