I still remember
In the moonlight seeping through the window of your apartment on the 20th floor, I looked out into what was left of the city lights at 3am and whispered “This is an amazing view you’ve got here..”
I turned around to see you standing diagonally across the room from me. You respond by saying, “The view is actually better from over here.” I believe you and walk over to where you are. I stand right in front of you to try and see what you’re seeing, and when you lean over my shoulder a bit from behind, I can feel the warmth of your breath on my neck.. and because of that, it takes all the strength I have to keep my nerves in check. You point to the bridge far, far out in the distance that I couldn’t see when I was up closer to the scenery, and when I turn around to agree — that yes, this is a better view than what I saw before, that I can see so much more, our eyes lock and your mouth hits my own.. and even though our lips were still moving, there were no words being spoken.
…
The night transcends into something both expected and unexpected and soon after, the sun rises and I lay my head in the nook between your arm and your chest. As I closed my eyes to finally rest, I’m left feeling like nothing else matters.
