The lights flicker





on





and






off
yellowish and gold
in the moon's company
peaking thorough the grey clouds
shadows lingered
casting themselves
the uneasy dim street light
flickered
nervous
as me
lighting up your freckled face
illuminating you handsome eyes
You told me the shadows to
"never leave me"
the words escaped you lips and were as
beautiful as the
twinkling stars
clustered above the vast midnight abyss
similar to our young love
a fragrant wind ruffled my brown hair
You
pulled back the loose strands behind my ear
in the stillness of the night
and the wonder of life
he leaned
our lips met
total harmony
nothing else matters
besides
you and me.
