We sat in silence on starlit nights
on the rooftop in summer.
Looking at the city, the stars and beyond.

In silence. breathing softly.
She only held my hand, it seemed for hours.
And so it was. for hours.
except for" How are you doing baby?"

"Just fine  darlin" my reply
And so I was. We looked into our eyes then
returned to the silent journey, hands closed gently. What a ride.
And so it was.

She would sit between my knees as we journeyed sometimes.
Her head resting on my chest. Both gazing into the twinkling nighttime.
My arms wrapped around her, her hands holding both of mine.
her breath would fall and rise.

The sweet fragrance of her hair as wafted in summer air.
The eternity of the moment.
The cadence of her heart barely sensed.
The eternity of those moments.

And so it was.
