the way we...

Maybe it was in the way the fire danced in the wind
It's body twisting
The flames embracing each other
Drowning in exhilaration and fervency
As we laid and watched the stars collide under a pale moon
Hiding away from the world
Out where the trees intertwined and the ground sighed our names
In an alluring sound
Only we could descry

Maybe it was in the way your hands felt upon my skin
Rugged, but comforting
While each stroke of your fingertips told me a silent story
And unspoken secrets bleed from our muted mouths
Into the solid soil
That immersed us in our feverish release
Of delusional truth

Maybe it was in the way we needed each other
If not forever, than for those moments
Those few moments
Where we knew
We were one
And we weren't


Alone.
