she felt the breath on her wild chilled cheek
he’d found the courage to speak
she could not look him in the eye
he’d just smile and say, ‘don’t cry’
she did not think this kind of night
would see everything turn right
he puts his hand up on her knee
and forever is a memory
he’d fallen for her so long ago
and here she was, his world
his lips just brushed her hair
and he whispered, “will you be my girl?”
and she smiled
the sun was coming to chase away
the moonlight that begged them to stay
he kissed her softly, as if to say
we’ll finish this some other day
she waits by the window, frees up the phone
but never again will she be alone
he’s thinking of her, how she almost cried
he’s coming back to claim his bride
