I see you but only in part.
Your face, lit from the moonlight,
Reaches out and touches my heart.
You are my knight.
I walk towards you,
With open arms and mind.
Hoping it�s true,
Wanting it to be your love I find.
I touch your hand and fell you shiver.
I ask, "What�s wrong?"
But you merely quiver.
"It won�t be long."
We sit on the bench together,
Holding hands, not saying a word.
I can feel a flame growing like the coming weather.
But only the distant roll of thunder can be heard.
I feel the raindrops as they start to fall.
Smiling, I let go of your hand and run
To the covered safety of the bathroom wall.
I lean, thinking, "This is fun."
Finally, you dawdle up the walkway.
As you smile, I know
What you�re about to say.
"I love you." as your face lights aglow.
Taking me in your arms, you hold me close.
You look into my eyes, and I can see your whist.
Leaning forward you give me what I wanted most.
You give me your love and your endless kiss.
