The moon lit their faces along the lakeside
The rippling water almost trembled as much as her hands
She spoke in a tone of doubt yet it still cracked with the same relentless passion as it always had
She looked at him with a mirror image in her eyes and said
"Lay all your cards out on the table. I want to see you bare without the past clutching your heart."
Her words rolled out untamed
His breathe had not yet caught up to him when he grasped her trembling hands and realized the full implications of her aching-
Leaned forward and kissed the soft lips he had waited far too long to be tangled in once again
