The night in the park
The night never seemed more beautiful
Whether it was his eyes, glistening in the night light Or the stars illuminating his smile In an hour we became closer We talked and laughed and played In the night everything faded away Only him and I running away And to each other A child’s game but it felt so good To be with him laughing like we always should When we collided and crashed and fell to the floor I never felt so loved, more and more He stared at me as we laughed As we breathe harder Kissing at last I hope he knows how much I love him I hope he knows how much I care I hope he knows how badly I always want to be there |
