I'm not sure how to put into words the perfection that was that night
That we walked along the midnight waves,
Looking for turtles who never appeared
Lit by the millions of stars that painted the South American sky
It reminded me of photographs that seemed so perfect you had to believe it was fake
We slowly walked closer and closer
My shoulder began brushing yours
My hand would touch yours and each time, my stomach turned
You never saw that I was dying for you to grab my waist and pull me in
Close enough to taste the salt on your lips and the rawness of your eyes
To linger in each other's hearbeats while I studied your body close to mine
We discussed poetry, books and all the things that terrified us
I think I saw you watching me while I watched the stars
And I told you things I never told anyone
My soul never felt so connected to another's
My body instantly gravitated towards you like you were meant for me in some form

I'm not sure if you loved me or not
But I believe in that moment I was someone you could've loved
And that is good enough for me
