this one wish, that this house may actually be peaceful, no batterings, no fights, no shouts, no crying, no loaded silences, no blaming each other, no heaving sighs, no tiptoeing around unknown OB markers, nothing more but blessed peace and silence and a little reassurance that love still exists and will not go sour.
just this one wish, and still i feel greedy, as if this, too, is too much to wish for.
