As we walked along the rocky road on the dusk of that fire- surrounded night,
his big brown eyes glimmered under the shining gold of the moonlight.

We looked up at the gleaming bright stars shining down upon us,
the closeness of our shadows brought my heart a delightful rush.

Even though our walk had barely begun,
without even attempting; my heart he had won.

Our awkward chit-chat echoed in the oh-so-quiet park,
my words attempting to match his, hoping not to break the spark.

I walked the perimeter of the park by his side with him then,
and as we approached our destination campsite, I didn’t want my joy to end.

I wondered what he thought- about me, about the world.
Was I a part of his mind? Or to him was I just another girl?

I would never know what he was thinking,
so for him, I would just have to fight,
and I would enjoy the comfort of his presence in the dusk of that fire-surrounded night.
