The insipid moonlight dully approaches,
And shines behind these sad green eyes,
I gaze at the sky, and its broken crystal shards,
Twinkling upon the twilight of fantasy,
I remember the first day we met each other,
At a zoo when we were kids,
Your soft chestnut hair,
Alluring hazel eyes,
I found myself in an abyss to never awaken,
You lost me in your trance,
And I just can’t admit what I feel,
So we grow up with childhood in hand,
Through trials and tribulations we fight,
Pulling through our teenage angst,
And now this beginning high school life,
You’ve been there for me, throughout all my pain,
And held me tight through those scary storms,
Even when the lightning flashed violently,
I was forever clutched in your warm embrace,
That reminded me of the sun that rose today,
But now I’m here, lying on the grass,
With a look of hollowness passing me by,
I suddenly hear the crunching of the leaves,
Turning my head I see your beat up sneakers,
You kneel down beside me and lie down,
Not saying a word for the wind has said it all,
And I keep my gaze, withheld in his,
He returns the deed gratefully,
I give him a brilliant smile,
With my eyes twinkling from the stars,
That regressive boy stares into my eyes,
And gives me a goofy grin,
I get up gently with my heartbreaking beam,
You doing the same thing also,
But you reach up and caress my cheek,
And for the first time I feel a wetness,
Because I was shedding tears I didn’t know I had,
So you inch your face towards mine,
Closer we grow to each other,
Then tenderly kissing my lips lovingly,
And encircle your strong arms around my waist,
I’m pulled into your lap for comfort,
We pull back and gasp for life,
With me leaning on your shoulder,
We know what we did that day,
Our childhood flashed in my eyes,
No longer just to remain as best friends,
Or childhood crush in life,
You’re now my person to love,
To hug, cherish, and kiss,
So no longer will this sad girl cry with frustration,
For all I needed were you,
Even though a blush creeps upon my complexion,
I know you’ll still hold my hand,
And never let me go,
Even when I start slipping from your grasp,
Even when I cry those painful tears,
You’ll fix the broken heart that needs to mend.
