Tonight

The fresh blossom of what seems like love hangs in the balance,
Nothing holding us back from the unforeseen possibilities of what is our newfound affection.

The light fading away from the horizon is a sign,
A sign that what we have glows strong throughout the twilight.

Nothing seems like it can sway the feelings shared,
Shared between you and I.

A glance,
A look,
A pause,
Conveys what we are both feeling.

The notion that we may actually find that one to share our most intimate thoughts,
The withdrawal,
The significance.

The pure melding of emotion,
The absolute resolution that this should be seen as what it is.
Affection.

All of this compounding into what one could say is…
This thing that transforms into…
Trust.

The one thing we have both hunted for blindly,
And feared that we may actually find.
That trust that has irked it’s way in,
Through a surprising night.

That night,
Was what we probed for,
And that night.

Is Tonight.

I pray to never forget,
But to always hold close to my heart.

Tonight.
