Alone
I walk along the lonely streets at night,
The streetlights are dim with light,
It is a warm summer's night,
No one was around the town seemed dead,
I stopped walking because i heard a noise,
My heart skipped a beat with fear,
Than there was silence,
So I continued walking,
Than it was you,
You jumped out of the shadows that had danced on the walls of the moonlight,
My heart skipped a beat with fear,
You apologized for scaring me,
You grabbed my hand and we started walking hand in hand,
You brought light to the darkness of the street and my heart,
We go off the street into a field,
You stopped walking and spun me around,
You put your hand under my chin to lift me head to look at you,
At this moment I knew I wanted you,
And you wanted me too,
You looked me straight in the eyes,
I stared back into your eyes,
It was like destiny,
We moved closer and closer,
Than we kissed so softly,
It was such a sweet, Passionate kiss that me heart had melted,
Than you pulled away and looked into my eyes once more,
Only this time your eyes had more intensity into them,
Your eyes were dancing with sparkles,
Your mouth had grin,
Your eyes told me something that you did not have to say,
But you said them anyway,
Which is: "I love you".
My jaw hit the floor with the way you said it,
I said, "I love you too."
Then, we started kissing once again but with a lot more passion than before,
Our passionate kiss lit a ring of fire around us,
For now, I am happy,
I know now that you love me,
So now i do not have to walk the lonely streets at night alone,
I have someone by my side,
Now that I know you love me,
And you know I love you,
That's all I need to know.
