Within Eternal Flames

One Car, Two people

Is this all we need?

 A couple of puffs? A ride in your car? and maybe even a little conversation?

Just you and me?

I doubt that, that's what anyone needs with a feeling this deep

"I'm scared to love you." 

I managed to say with thoughts on my mind on what you might say

Flashes of times I had rejected those fools, fill my head with never ending rules on what was right and what was wrong to tell

Feelings of pain is all I can find since my luck with men had never been fine

Of course, I wish not to be hurt

And to my knowledge it's better to end it now before it has started

But love cannot be helped and I cried as you sat across from me in the backseat of your car

 " It's embarrassing seeing a girl cry."

My mind had said.

So quickly, I dried my eyes

You asked me,

 "Why does this have to be?"

I wanted to say that I was weak and full of fear

But everytime I talk down on myself , you always disagree 

Then you'd show me all the things that I need to see which is sadly, still too hard to believe

-

Your eyes are glued to mine and my heart is now pounding so hard I couldn't hear the next words that escaped those
irresistible
       lips of yours.

 I closed my eyes and held my breath

The next thing to happen, I will never forget

-

Collide your body to mine

Let our body heat warm us in this cold winter night

And when that cold breeze hits my skin from the crack in the window, I'll shiver

Then you'll push faster and I'll thank you with the sounds of my heated love

I'll whisper your name just so our eyes will meet again

When they do, you'll say

"I love you."

Those are the words I couldn't hear before..

The words that suddenly feel so much more meaningful.

I'll hold you tighter for my body won't allow my words to be coherent 

Until the moment you arrive, I'll catch my words and throw it straight to you

"I love you too."

As you search for your breath, I'll lay your head on my chest

" You know what happens next?" 

You say with that smile that leaves me in tears

For it's the kind of smile that makes me forget the fears

That have brought me here today.

"It's your turn, love."

It was in this moment I knew that you were here to stay

Uninterested in those girls who only wanted to play

Focused on me and the life we'll live together

This is the night I will always remember

The night I planned to break it all away, the night you showed me there was a promise that is to be made.

When I had reached my limit, you kissed me for a minute and then you said,

"I promise to cherish you for as long as I live."

 My happiness is now ready to begin.
