Nights of My Memories

I don’t remember the season… I don’t recall the month or the day… but I cannot forget that moment in time. You walked slightly in front of me… nervously holding your keys as we approached your door…

You stopped and turned to me in the dark and your hair glowed into the heavens… The breeze filled my lungs with the perfume of eternity…

Time stood still as I was drawn to you and the tenderness of your lips fell upon me. A smile forced itself upon my soul and the warmth of humanity rolled across my being into my flesh…

I felt strong and protective as you pulled me close… close and into your heart… I swam in your pulse… I was filled with an emotion that I could not comprehend. I recorded, in my mind, every movement of your eyes… your skin and your soft tender voice…

I wanted nothing more… I needed nothing more… I could not have taken in anymore. Gone, were my youth and my thoughts of anything but you. The breeze that fell across our faces still swirls within my thoughts and cools me in the nights of my memories…
