-late Night Encounter-
~~^~~
Sitting there, chatting late at night,
Wishing they could spend more time together,
Like hours, even days,
sitting on a beach somewhere, listening to the tides roll in and the birds sing.
and the full moon rising as the sun sets in the horizon.
Listening to each other’s heartbeat,
each heaving sighs of contentment.
fingers entwined with the others as they gaze eye to eye.........
noses barely brushing.....
lips an inch apart.......
Breaths coming quicker now.....
tension soaring
anticipation high..
lips touching,
the electricity flowing,
the joining is soft, yet hot and unique...
Both shivering at the touch....both wanting each other so much
Slowly undressing each other as their eyes caress the other’s body.....
They continue staring at each other longingly,
Knowing that the reactions to the touch would be unstoppable.
She peels away her eyes from his gorgeous body
Long enough to look into his eyes and smile.
She leans over to him and whispers,
‘I love you, my friend,
But we both know this is wrong.’
With these words, she runs off down to the water’s edge
Hoping he’d follow her.
Hoping he’d say that it wasn’t
But knowing in her heart it was.
She takes a plunge into the cool water,
Knowing that is the only plunge she will take.
He follows her into the water,
Again taking her hands in his,.
This time he whispers to her,
‘It’s ok, my love,
We don’t need to go there.
The love we have for each other goes deeper then that.’
With those words, he kisses her gently on the lips,
Takes her hand, and leads her back to the beach,
Where they get dressed and sit again,
This time she rests her head on his shoulder,
Happy and content just to be with him.
Their wedding day would come soon enough…
