We held each other...

We held each other last night.

I came out to support you and watch you on stage.

My family came along to meet you.

After the show you saw me and took me in.

We held each other.

You smelled of laundry soap and the day’s work.

You were in a white button down and grey pants.

You smiled at me the way only you can.

Our eyes going even deeper into one another’s.

We held each other.

Everyone loved you.

Everyone could see the way you love me.

Everyone could see the way I love you.

We held each other last night.

You wrapped your arms around me tighter.

I closed my eyes and buried my face in your neck.

You stroked my hair and kissed my neck.

Your hands holding my back firmly and passionately.

Each of your fingers pressing warmly into my skin.

My hand played with your hair.

We held each other.

You told me that you were so glad I was there.

That you had missed me and love me.

I told you how much I love you.

You kissed me.

The world disappeared.

And it was just us.

Alone as one.

Holding each other.
