But 90 between you and me.
Even as the night got darker,
Our breath manifested the breeze.
You looked up at the sky above
While telling me of what you love.
Even as you got lost amongst the stars
I could feel you here enough.
We walked in utter trust
That our next step wouldn't bust
But with each trip among our path
I put faith into us.
You told me of your dreams
How far away they seemed.
But your unwillingness to disappoint
Was your fuel to keep on going.
Your camera flashed our stature
As you clicked and began to capture
A night full of 2 renegade kids
And the dreams they were after
And to our absolute surprise
The sprinklers suddenly rised
Without a second to run away
We were soaked from feet to eyes
And as we lay there soaking wet
Only the sky and the dark to witness it
We suddenly felt much closer
To the futures which we were set
And your hand grabbed mine instantly
And I swear then, momentarily
I felt your palm turn icy cold
Against my hand so feverishly
Within that moment we returned
To our previous hot temperature
And just like that I whirled right back
To the 90 degrees I remembered
And I wasn't sure if that quick cold
Was doubt radiating from his mind untold
But I basked in its reshreshing glimpse
As our night began to unfold
It was 65 degrees
But 90 between him and me
And even when the cold rushed in
Our breath upheld our heartbeats.
And as the light came creeping in
And the darkness disappeared
You smiled wide and breathed in deep
And that breeze blew away my fear.
It felt like 90 degrees between us.
As day turned to night.
I'll always be fondest of that darkness
That brought us so much light.
