"Nearly Gone"
I think I'm falling for you, he said
it has been hours since they have talked
or seen one another, but the poor boy's heart
is so full
that he's about to burst at the seams
he walks to the desk and sits down
feverishly writing down his thoughts
on the paper
barely stopping for a breath
the words flow like running water
onto the thirsty page
she waits in silence
her heart locked away
the beauty in her eyes
masked by the pain
that haunts her still
the moment fate intervenes
and the two desperate souls
are joined together
the woman smiles
and embraces the boy
and the joy that consumes her
nearly makes his heart ache
overflowing with need and gratitude
they lie together now
underneath the stars
he holds her close
as she lays her head
on his bare chest
they look deeply
into one another's eyes
and with that first kiss
the world that they once knew apart
is now nearly gone.
