Sweet and Innocent Bliss

I will never forget how it feels when your hand gently brushes my arm,
or how my heart jumps when your eyes meet mine.
The sound of your laughter fills my thoughts,
and suddenly, I’m laughing too.
For a moment, thinking back to that night by the fire,
I can almost feel your arm around me.
We swayed in time with the music,
and all too soon the night had ended.
I remember so clearly our last, parting embrace,
on that beautiful summer day.
As the weeks drag by,
my longing only increases.
Everything you say puts a smile on my face,
reminding me of how I feel when I’m with you.
This is bliss, sweet and innocent bliss,
and I never want it to end.
I long to see your smile,
to be held close to you once more.
For hours I could think of seeing you again,
of falling into your waiting arms.
I remember so clearly our last, parting embrace,
on that beautiful summer day.
