The walls were on fire
Bodies were pushed against brick
the candles beginning to burn out
shadows flooded the hallway
Waves crashed against the building
it was the wind, forcing us together
the trees abandoning their post
blessing us with privacy as we left
I took your hand and lead us
into the street, into the night
i continued to walk, stealing glances
of our reflection in windows
I caught your wrist and felt your pulse
throbbing beneath my touch
i felt your need in that moment
it was like i could hear your thoughts
When you smiled, inviting me in
I felt my own heart leap
Never before had i let desire
become my drive, my only focus
Pulling you in, tasting your smile
I gave myself to you in that moment
I had dreamt of flying for so long
And i did, on your arm
It is hard to return to the ground
when you have been caressed by the clouds
but i did, when you left
and i regret nothing
For now i see the stars in many colours
i know their names and faces
and i miss your face and songs
but i see you in the stars too
Stars burn for a long, long time
and when they fall- we all watch in awe
