Destiny

 Here I stand in the darkness of the night

Where only the stars see me, 

For I am in the blackest shadows

Flat up against a wall

And the only thing you can see 

Is the glint of my blue eyes.

My heart is running at a staggering tempo

Because I can feel you near me

Your presence is like a ghost

Unseen, like me

But we’re both searching for something, 

Looking for the person we know is out there

The one we sense will make us feel alive.

Bound together by a force too strong to resist

You walk closer, 

Even though you can’t see

And stop, a foot away.

I hold my breath

Trying not to make a noise

Yet wanting to let you know I’m there

Your eyes lock with mine, 

And I can’t help gasping.

Because blood has gone boiling.

My eyes go dark as I take you in, 

And you walk closer ‘till you’re a mere breath away, 

Tilting my head up, I look at you, 

And you raise your hand, 

Wrapping it around my neck, 

Then, without a word, 

Your head lowers to mine, 

In an endless kiss of destiny.
