Midnight Melody by Buddy Summer

You sing to me, my heart quickens and my breath catches. You make me feel, ferociously.

Your smile lights up my heart like the embers of the neon lights that surround us. We are alone in our special place.

Right here right now my heart has lifted. I don't want to leave this tree and for this moment to end. I won't be leaving anytime soon.

The sound of your voice gives me both comfort and anxiety- the good kind, I tell myself.

Our eyes meet for seconds at a time whilst you play your acoustic melody. That's all I can take because when you look at me, an inner force rises inside my chest only to calm when you look away. I don't want to find out what happens when you look into my eyes for more than a second.

Your gentle fingers find the notes of the guitar that harmonise beautifully. Strange, they seem new to each other yet I sense you've been practising.

Freckles sprinkle your cheeks, your nose, your forehead. Against the glow of this night, I almost miss them......in fact, I do really miss them.

.....................

I'll always want you near. I'm always going to need you. The flutter you're associated with won't leave, I can't imagine such a thing. 

You rest your guitar, take my hand and we stand in unison. I take a breath. Our mirrored gazes don't shift, not even when blaring accusatory lights point at us from the car park beyond. Instead, I'm lead around the tree in a symphonic flow of spins and toes back and forth. My hands rest behind your neck, our already optimistic smiles turn to beams and I'm taken by surprise when you dip back my head in a sweep. A giggle escapes from my core. 

How beautiful, our Melody is.
