Last Embrace

**The song above was playing as I wrote**

She came

In the dead of night

To tell him

And show him

She loved him

He stared

Not believing his eyes

She was there

Walking toward him

Sliding her arms around his neck

The moon

Was all the light they had

The only witness

Of the last embrace

They could have

Crickets

Sang them a love song

As their lips met

With no words

And their passion rose

Their love

Was deep and true

But it wasn't enough

This was the last of its kind

They both knew

They made love

On a blanket of grass

The heat between them

Igniting the heavens above

With stars joining the moon

His eyes

Were afraid to open

He didn't want to see her go

He could stay in this dream forever

And make the last embrace..endless

The sun

Soon forced his eyes to open

He lay there in disbelief

As he found himself staring

At the ceiling of his room
