underneath the clear night sky
and the blanket of stars,
and all I could do was
stare in awe as your
gaze pinned me where
I stood.
Goosebumps traveled
across my skin
with each step I took
to meet you halfway
along the shore.
The hairs on my neck stood up,
as if reaching out for
the warmth of your hand,
to finally still the quivering
bones underneath.
I dig my toes deeper into
the sand to keep myself
from running away,
away from the only thing
that has the power to
amaze me and scare me
at the same time.
Unspoken questions
lingered within your eyes,,
as you patiently waited
while I stood in fright,
trying so hard to keep myself
from stuttering over the words.
Losing patience,
piling up courage,
I pulled your body closer
and touched your lips with my own.
With a sigh of relief
I felt yours curve into
a smile against mine,
as you finally got the
answer that I could
never say out loud.
