That Moonlit Walk

That Moonlit Walk

Quiet streets, emptying out all emotion
The hollow buildings swaying far into the distance
Trees lining up the sidelines
Bringing me back to what felt like a dream

My hair let loose, my mouth in a smile
I could just feel your eyes
Piercing me in a soothing array
The park played its melody, our thoughts growing astray

I could see you with your hands in your pockets
Your unique pendant, never taken off
For one second I could almost see you laugh
But you looked away

I remember how our hands touched, fingers laced
Our sweet hugs, never leaving right away
Our kisses, ones that always felt the first
Just knowing we were closeby was enough

I remember the days like those
When we'd stay up with the radio
Sing and play the guitar
Fool around, watch the clouds roll by

But that night it felt different
I could remember the words you said
"Do you know how much I love you?"
That question hit me in the head

I gave you a light punch, smiled and turned around
"As much as I do," I said, staring at the ground
You tipped my chin and looked me in the eye,
"I love you so much, if you left me I would die"

I gave you a sweet kiss and my thoughts would reminisce
"If you died then I would cry"
That moonlit walk, we made our promises
And I could see the midnight sky

"I love you and I always will"
Are the words I remember from that night
We are going different ways
But those words still make me feel alright
