This morning we walked in
The hospital already rumbling
Both red-eyed and waking up
In our passing we locked eyes
Became lost in the moment
Slowing we kept walking
Though never stopping
Our minds never leaving
That encounter


The patients draining us
In a few short moments
Our souls would connect once again
This time though a fire would start

I heard footsteps behind me
A soft voice called out
"Hey, do I know you?"
Surprised I turned around
Expecting only another needy patient
Pleasantly I was caught off guard
She laughed as she caught up

Meeting once again
Our bodies almost touching
She shyly touch my arm
Taking a chance I embraced her
My hand reached her cheek

I whispered into her ear
"Meet me at this location at 4"
I ran my hand through her hair
Kissed her soft lips
She gasped in shock
Muttering only a stuttered "OK"

That night we became one
Giving into our delights
Our souls becoming intertwined
As we lay in bed she whispered
"What is this?"
Smiling I kissed her deeply
"The beginning of a new chapter"
