What You Said

It started as a whisper.

Warm breath-words
carressing my ear
that moved through my hair
and disolved into the night.
It gave me chills.

Then the rain began to fall
around the two of us
-just standing there-
giving hope to the parched ground.
I looked up at you,
and lightening flashed.

You couldn't have come
any closer
without becoming a part of me.
Raindrops dripped from your eyelashes
and your lips were in a
wet smile.

I breathed slowly,
as the moment stretched on.
The rain was a curtain around us,
isolating who we were
from the rest of the world.

I'll never forget what you said.
