The Hug

Sillhouetted branches, 
At the top of tall trees,
Stretch to kiss the last of the light.
A full moon ascends,
Casts out femine hands,
As she smilingly heralds the night.
He pulls me toward him,
Like the moon and the tide, 
I move close and he holds me tight.
I feel him flow under my hands,
Heat emanates out,
My desirous flames ignite.
He kisses my cheek,
Gentle friendly ease,
Another pang from love no requite.
Dammit! If I just turned an inch,
And kissed his lips,
Would he think me impolite? 
Or would he suddenly realise,
I hold true loves kiss,
And let his hidden passion take flight? 
What does all of this matter,
If only one of us knows,
And I will never take the first bite? 

Just let it fall.

Love is a game of chance and if someone doesn't make the first move and be brave, then love will never exist. Nice job

Sometimes you just have to make that first move and risk it all.. I hope it all worked out in the end for you.
