At a special place where the warm summer night breeze caressed us gently,
We layed under twinkling stars that were suspended in the heavens
so far away
While we held each other so close.
But my attention was not on the night sky but upon you- the angel lying close to me.
I stared at your beautiful face, illuminated by the soft starlight, and it made your
very presence become overwhelming.
And after a time, I began to feel an urge; a longing; a need
To kiss you
And unbeknownst to me- you had the same desire.
So at that moment, both stricken by our need for release; transcending that concealed desire
We kissed.
A silent, loving exchange that was over in an instant.
But it was through that single kiss; that brienf display of affection
That our hearts were opened and our lives were changed.
Because that is when we fell in love.
