I never looked at him this way.
We were standing
outside,
The best of
friends,
Late one night.
The moon was
full,
The stars
were out,
The wind was
cold,
Snowflakes
fell and nestled in our hair,
Melted on
our cheeks.
I shivered,
and he put an arm around me,
Warm and comforting.
I looked up
to say 'thank you'.
Then came the moment.
I felt my lips
go numb
And my face
go red
And my hands
go limp
And the blood
rush to my head
And my knees
turn to mush
And my feet
turn to lead
And the tingling
sensation
Running up
and down my spine
And the sweet
intoxication
And the haze
that filled my mind
And the voice
inside that tells me
That the moment
now is mine…
The moment
is his…
The moment
is ours.
