Evening Sky

Walking alongside the quiet beach

Our feet sinking into the soft sand

I sigh softly

As we gazed out over the wide ocean

As I put my hand in front of my face

The other holding your hand

The cool ocean breeze softly blows my hair back

Along with my white's summer dress

As we continued walking alongside the beach

Gazing at the seemingly endless stretch of sand

I gripped your hand just a bit tighter

Letting the warmth from your hand seep into mine.

Stopping our walk, we looked out at the horizon

Watching the sun sink into the ocean

The evening sky filled with the different colors.

Taking my other hand into your own

You turned me around

Gently placing your forehead against mine

And carefully wrapping me up in your arms

As we gazed into each others' eyes

Brown meeting brown

You smiled, a secret smile reserved solely for me

As you leaned down

Our noses touched

Once again, I closed my eyes

Our breaths mingling together

As our lips softly met

The sound of the waves breaking, the seagulls squawking, and the wonderful colors of the evening sky

All melted away at the feel of your lips on mine

We were lost, lost in our own world

Where there's only the two of us

Breaking apart, I reopened my eyes

We looked at each other,

Both of our faces slightly colored

And as I smiled, so did you.

Wrapping an arm around me

We began walking once more alongside the ocean

Walking towards the evening sky

And the future that lay in wait for us.
