stolen kisses on a summer night
An other poem that I felt people should hear and not read, transcribed below the video though :)
we are 17 years old
high school in our back pockets
college on the horizon
decisions in our hands
shaking in our boots
with both excitement and fear
searching for the words
that wont come out
you grab my hand
look me in the eye
whisper "i love you"
and the fear melts away
for a minute there is peace
for aa minute the pressing matters
in my 17 year old head
seem less important
for a minute i am safe and calm
but minutes are not forever
we walk hand in hand
laughing and talking
we pass a river and see
the water coursing by
time feels like its flowing as fast as the river
passing me by before i can grasp it
you sit, mesmerized
we watch the river flow in the twilight
peaceful, loved, happy
your lips graze my cheek
we erupt in giggles and
time slows down
for a minute i am happy
for an hour i am safe
for a week i cant stop thinking about you
your hair
the way your eyes catch the sun at sunset
the way your hand fits in mine
the stolen kisses
on a summer night
we are 17 years old
our lives ahead of us
fear subsiding
decisions in our hands
