Reflecting back on the evening

You went from being a simple dance

To something far more personal

I don’t know why

But I took you to my hidden place

Shared with you a special moment

We talked and laughed

Then something incredible happened

You curled up next to me

I embraced your body with my arms

Trying to warm you as best I could

Truth be told I just loved having you in my arms

You feel right

We walked a little

But I had to embrace you fully

Like a hug, like a slow dance

I wanted to hold you tight

For all the night

Protecting you from the cold

From the unknown

Our hands found salvation in each other’s palms

You feel right

We make it back to where we started

Relocate

Ice cream and empty parking spots

The moon a witness to our casual fun

We lock eyes

You hold the gaze

Are you really ready

I want to close the gap

Let my lips graze yours

But it’s not the right time or place     

Trust me, I want to kiss you more than I can bear

Next time you lock eyes with me

I will not refrain

And my lips will meet yours

Like a silent approval

You won’t need words to ask

Just let your eyes PULL me in

With care

I do declare

-Fin-
