Alone at Last

Alone at last,
Soaked to the skin,
Huddled in the corner of our shelter
Waiting for something special to begin,
Rain falls unceasingly,
Its lashing we do not realise,
As we spend all of our time
Gazing into one another’s eyes,
Every smile flips our stomachs,
Every gaze causes the shakes,
Every kiss we share is an out-of-body experience
That helps us forget past mistakes,
Circumstance attempts to be a wall,
Solid, unmoveable, unchangeable,
Yet still we smash holes in it
Even though it seems to be indestructibly stable,
Circumstance is forgotten
Every time I see your joy bringing face,
Hiding the joy brought to me
Is a task quite difficult in this place,
But when we forget circumstance,
We act as if we were meant to be,
Joking and holding,
Proclaiming our feelings for all to see,
What we have may not last long,
But if and when we come to an end,
We will look back and say it was brief but beautiful,
We'll still see each other as friends…

In the end, time will tell us…
What will be, will be…
Whether we’re together a month or a year…
Our lives will always intertwine and be free…

Be free...
Be free...
Be free...
Be free...

(to this day, I still don't think I did the moment that inspired this poem/song justice).
