"Scream"*
A motion picture film playing serenely in the background...
As we stood
It started as a simple hug
Where we breathed each other in
You and I
And I took my head from your perfect shoulder
And looked into those endearing, dark eyes
And I remember the perfection and serenity
As we slow danced
To no music at all
Swaying from side to side
My doe eyes
My pupils dilating
As you leaned into me
As your lips touched mine
Fully
For the very first time
And I breathed you in
And we kissed
My first kiss...
That you stole...


and I allowed you to steal
It
As Scream played serenely in the background...
And I uttered *'I Love You'

With the kind of Love
From 1 Corinthians 13...
I recited...
'Love is patient, Love is kind...'
And I asked you whether that was the Love that flooded from each of our hearts
And you declared that it was
That you loved me in the purest way
You rested your hands on my hips
As my arms hung loosely around your soft neck
And I rested my lips on that tender neck
And soaked you in
And the serenity of
This kiss
The darkness
And the sweet serenity of
Scream playing in the background...
