Underneath a Moonlit Sky
One night - arm in arm -
we started walking home.
We had been dancing and it had grown late,
but oh, how bright was the night!
No one else was around us,
but encircling the moon,
the stars above
were winking
down on us!
Even though this was our first date,
the chemistry was strong.
The air was chill, so we stopped.
As he wrapped his coat around me,
he stayed in that one spot,
simply looking into my eyes.
The stars kept winking.
I, however, was unblinking
as I gazed back into his shining eyes.
If there were sounds,
I did not hear them.
The ground could have vanished
from beneath our feet,
and I would not have known it.
Extraordinary sensations
pulsated through my body.
Giddy, I felt as if I almost could not breathe.
In that magic moment,
he placed soft fingers
beneath my chin,
tilting my face just right
as he leaned in
ever so gently
for that first kiss
underneath
a moonlit sky.
