The moon is out, the lights are off,
And I can only see the sparkle in your eye at two in the morning.
Nighttime brings all emotions to the surface:
Laughter, nervousness, and sadness for the dreaded farewell.
Our fingers intertwine trying to feel the warmth of a sweater pocket.
Trembling lips touch to feel the warm air;
Long embraces occur frequently and heart beats are felt often.
Words need not be said, because just knowing you are there is enough.
Memories fill the mind, while love burns deeper into the heart.
I can feel your eyes bury themselves onto my face,
And the heated red lights my cheeks.
I glance up, seeing that your eyes have not moved.
You take a breath and out come the three words that are always welcomed.
I stand there for a few seconds and notice that the corners of my mouth drift upwards.
“I love you, too” finally escapes and we stand there staring into the world of dreams.
