He held out his hand, hesitated for a moment, then intertwined his fingers in Branch's warm hand. the gray troll pressed her gently to comfort her.
A long silence settled between the two trolls, both staring at the sunset. Branch stroked the back of her hand with her thumb and Poppy rested her head on the gray troll's shoulder.
-Branch?
-Yeah?
-Sing ... please, just a song ...
Branch sighed.
-Poppy ... he started
-...For me? she risked
silence reigned again for a long time ... Poppy thought Branch had refused once more, but ...
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to youAcross the water across the deep blue oceanUnder the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying...
When the song started, she thought an angel was coming to sing the melody and then realized that the voice belonged to the gray troll. He had a beautiful voice. Poppy turned his head toward the gray troll, he his eyes were closed and his nose was tense, she laughed silently at the comical face that his companion was making. Forcing him gently to look at her, she continued the song:
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Lost in each other's eyes, they start singing together
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Branch seemed more relaxed, he laughed lightly and ran his fingers through Poppy's hair.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday...
Poppy stroked Branch's cheek and squeezed her hand, Branch did the same, squeezing Poppy's hand as if he would never let her go.
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meetYou'll hear the music fill the airI'll put a flower in your hair... Branch grabbed a red flower and slipped it between two wicks. Poppy smiled and approached her face until their noses touched, Branch moaned with happiness.
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I seeAs the world keeps spinning roundYou hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have beenLucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayedLucky to be coming home someday
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Branch could feel Poppy's warm breath against her skin, her heart beating so hard he was afraid Poppy would hear it.
-Thank you, Branch ... whispered the pink troll.
-All for my princess, he replied,
Poppy hesitated and kissed her quickly, Branch shrugged his eyes but melted into the kiss.
-Why? he murmured when the pink troll ended the kiss.
-Because when I feel small, you're still there and you get me through it all
Branch laughed lightly and Poppy kissed her again.
