Warm, close, a pleasant feeling

Dancing together under the stars

Unafraid, he takes my hand

Swings me away to a blissful oblivion.

I didn't realize my feelings

Kept them buried deep

They floated around, haunting me

I gave in and let him hold me.

So close, so warm, so happy

Gliding around the floor effortlessly

My hand on his back, his hand on mine

Our other hands intertwined.

He was so tall, I tried not to look up

I gave up finally, and laid my head down

Against his warm chest, staring off into space

I sighed and closed my eyes, taking in these feelings.

Why did I deny them?

Were they always there?

I always thought from the emails

But never truly felt...

He holds me so close

Clearly unafraid now

As he was so terrified before

All worries evaporated tonight.
