A New Love's Dance

Fate put us together among the weather delayed travel. The morning after a long night's labor, lodging at a friend's home. Two friends secretly longing one for another, lying awake in a too small bed, your body so close to mine, I feel your heat. We both toss and turn, unable to sleep. I feel like a teen on a first date, unable to find the words to match my emotions. Finally, one giant leap I do take, and tell you what is in my heart, the largest I have accomplished. I am timid and scared, not sure how you feel. I lay it all out for you to see, my tender heart exposed. In your arms, I find solace.
