in one night

i knew that he wasn't available to begin with, thats what made him so intriguing,

He wasn't hesitant during the night,
watching me dance and passing my drinks ,
sitting close to me in the car on the journey home,
No one seemed to notice the chemistry though,
our friends,
they were all so elated by the night and its antiques that we found ourselves in a world belonging entirely to him and me...

Like friends we flirted without words...
Harmless gestures like, silent glances, very innocent, but all so sweet...
My conscience seemed to fade as quickly as the sun set,
and as the stars settled and the night aged,
we became more and more aware of one another

The glances became meaningful stares,
more intense,
pouring through my eyes, into me...
telling me more than i'd allowed myself to imagine

He was shy, reserved and soft spoken,
he didn't say much,
but what he did say mattered

When he later took my hand and held it,
he did so secretly,
rubbing the insides of my palms with his thumbs,
i smiled from the inside out...
How could this young man, younger than i, be so...adorable!

I initiated our first kiss,
we were alone...
in his home,
in the living room,
it was dark, i couldn't see,
but i was guided by his scent and taken by his deliverance of the most perfect first kiss...
the softness touched my caged, enclosed, ever mending heart

Soon we were caught up in one another,
using all of our five senses...
Our eyes, to look and search for the reasons for our actions,
Our ears listening to the hastening of our own breathing,
Our fingers, touching all the secret places our bodies hid,
intertwined in one anothers,
tasting what could only be described as the forbidden fruit in the mysterious garden of Eden.

He smelled wonderful...
I removed all thoughts from my mind
and became consumed in the reckless yet sweet motions between us,
He was beautiful,
in every movement and moment and glance,

He was romancing me,
and i was supposed to be the romancer

When reality eased its way back to me, and i lay, ready to fall asleep,
aware of his presence in the room,
even though he was no longer next to me,
i knew we made love that night,
and for the first time in my life,
i felt like it.

I knew that the next day what we experienced would be a blur,
and he'd have to go back to her,
but that night he was mine,
he belonged to me, and made me feel as though
i could,
should
and would,
be treated like the angel he made me...

In one night, i fell
in one night i fell in love.
