You
The embers softly glow
as we side by side
lie basking in their warmth.
I heard your day
and u explored mine
exchanging experiences and thoughts.
You answered my problems
i challenged your ideas
we argued and laughed.
We lived our day
and talked of our dreams
we lay content.
I turned over or maybe you
was it my smile
echoing from your eyes
Did your hand touch mine
did i come closer
how did your lips take mine.
Perfect ending, warm and soft
in embers glowing
of the aftermath.
