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.
