Your warm hands intertwine with mine,
So big like a knight's shield,
wrapped around my tiny fingers,
like a wool blanket.

Our feet pitter patter against the rocky pavement,
squishing the smooth pebbles under our rubber soles,
awakened by the sounds of the whistling trees,
swaying back and forth.

Your eyes linger every few seconds to mine,
smiling every time we made contact,
grasping my hands even tighter,
afraid I would float away to the moonlit sky.

The big grassy hill lies in front of us,
beckoning us to come,
and like children we run upwards into the welcoming arms of nature,
until we stand on top of the world.

I let myself climb atop your dusty shoes,
caressing your smooth clean-shaven face,
breathing in that oh so familiar scent,
fresh rain with a hint of mahogany.

You grab my waist and twirl me,
and together we succumb to gravity,
gently falling onto earth's bed,
as we lay there side by side under the starry night.
