Ignite

“That night... There are no words for it.”

Arms wrapped around shoulders
staring out at space
an empty void dotted with stars.

“Shh. It’s not over yet.”

Dewy grass on my back
an explosion of colour behind my eyes.

“They’re...amazing. I’ve never seen the fireworks so close.”

Cheek to cheek, hip to hip
inseparable.

“I had to do something special for you after everything you do for me.”

Whisper kiss like lapping tide
the stars ignite in prisms
leaving smoke to dance the sky.

“I don't think I've ever had a better day.”

You give me life
you give me night
you gave me tonight
being by my side.

“Nice to know I'm not alone in that.”
