Finger tip to finger tip We breathe slowly Eyes are closed We lay for a while Breathing slowly Legs entangled Hair spread out Night remaining young outside The stars glisten Palm to palm And then you stir You sit up And prepare to leave I reach out to you But your back is to me I lightly touch you back But you shy away Breathing slowly The night remains young And stars glisten Rose petals strewn all around My lips brush the small of your back You cringe I retract myself My hand snakes around for yours in the dark All I find are blood red petals We breathe slowly While the night remains young And stars glisten I reach out to you again and find your fingers You don’t move I entangle our fingers You don’t flinch I lay there while you have you back to me I watch as a ribbon ties around our hands It glows and I realize it is the ribbon of fate It is as red as the roses It is soft but tight You turn your head to our hands I squeeze lightly A soft smile spreads across your lips Breathing slowly The night remains young While the stars glisten I tug your hand Asking you to come back down You look at me That smile stays upon your lips You bend down to reach me Brush soft fingers over my blushened cheek Caress my cheek tenderly I pull your head down to mine Lips meet Tongues dance Breathing heavily As the night remains young And the stars glisten.
