let it happen

it was barely audible

yet soft and sure

in the heat of the moment. 

what?

I ask

even though I know what you said. 

I know the weight 

and the feeling

behind those words. 

the lights illuminate 

your statuesque silhouette 

in shades

of rosy pink 

icy blue 

and sunny yellow 

your deep brown eyes

stare into mine

distracting me from the blaring music 

and deafening cheers

I love this,

you say

I'm aware of my racing heartbeat

your hands tightening around my waist

and the smokiness of the stadium around us 

this is it.

I love you. 

warm arms embrace me

and soft lips kiss me

and my song is playing 

live in front of me

and you love me

a small piece of heaven 

is here 

and now.
