In A Moment by @Micer (Michelle Strouphauer)

I know I should say it more often to you than I say already, but its hard to accomplish when on is governed by their wisdom and lacking a heart...

But you lack one as well, and yet still manage to say those few words that matter the most to me, such a queer match that we happen to be.

I still remain silent, with this silly look of wonder upon my face, but you just smile, the riotous color upon your cheeks rising along with the sparkle I always desire to see within your silver eyes.

My sharp wits tell me to say what I've always wanted to say since the first moment I saw you, but I'm rendered dumb and mute as you lay your head against my shoulder with a soft crinkle of my straw the only sound I can actually hear, and you telling me to be quiet as the music you only seem to hear continues to lead us in this strange dance.

You know what I want to say, and perhaps you've already heard it though I have said nothing...

But it still remains... spoken or not... for now it is whimsy to say it in this moment... I don't know what I would do without you, you curious creature, my beautiful Scraps.

Had some fun working on this, considering I started the pencil sketch one Thanksgiving...

Scanned into Photoshop, retraced and colored with Wacom Tablet. Much fun-ness abounds...
