the world may revolve around us tonight

the dark seems to wrap us in a silky soft embrace, 

your arms warm around me, 

around me in a way I can't believe. 

I'm no longer focused on film that's playing, 

even though it's one of my favorites. 

I stay perfectly still

so maybe you won't move

and we can stay like this

just for a little while. 

and I notice, 

in the heat of the moment

that I finally feel like a teenager. 

I'm acting my age, 

and I can't believe how it feels. 

like euphoria

to just not care

and let myself kiss you, 

simply because I feel in love. 

I'm feeling 16 

and in love

for the first time

and I hope it's not the last.
