It's late -

It's very, very late

And I'm more nervous than I ever remember being

Well, except for that time two summers ago ...

You know exactly what I'm referring to:

We found ourselves alone together

I know you remember it as perfectly as I do

You & I

Together in the gardens

After the rain

Our backs pressed against that ancient oak tree

Side by side - because it's you and I, after all -

And we're always together

Always been together

That's when we looked over at one another

... It was only a look

Except

Except for the way we leaned towards one another

I felt your breath on my cheek

Me, suddenly seized by my secret revelation:

'Merlins, you're handsome ...

When did you get so damn handsome?'

And now -

Now, I'm practically ready to lose my mind over you

... Just the sight of you walking up these steps

That alone

Oh, you're so divinely perfect

And now, here: us

Because ...

Well, her

I really believe

She wants this for us

Like we want this for us

... You're really close now

With your face just before mine

Please, please, please

Come closer?

Please -

I want to feel more than your breath on my cheek

I want -

I want you

It's just ...

We're always together

Always been together

Right?

...

I'm pulling you in now

Your lips, your lips finally meeting mine

As we fall into one another for a slow, sweet kiss

And it's perfection

You're perfection

You & I

Breathing sighs of relief

Together in the dark
