Staring deep into his eyes
she knows what she feels
she smiles and kisses his forehead
she remembers a quote
from who she can't recall
"True love is like a ghost
which everyone talks about
and few have ever seen"
sitting quietly together
his hands finds hers
she plays with his thumb
and shows a nervous smile
wondering silently
"Is this a ghost that stays around
or is this really a shadow
waiting to fade with the setting sun?"
noticing an uneasy smile
he grabs her side, pulling her near
and with a swift kiss she smiles
their eyes lock and whispers are shared
they pull tighter together, she thinks
"ghost or not, this is the moment"
"I love you," she whispers between kisses
not knowing the outcome the moment is hers.
no one knows his thoughts
she closes her eyes, releasing a sigh
and continues to live her moment,
time freezing, she captures it all
open eyes, she wakes from her dream.
