Under the glow of the rather dim lights,

I avert my gaze,

Away from your warm, bright eyes

For I am afraid,

Terrified to fly

Into the sunshine

That is your smile.

I used to think,

And still I do think,

What I wouldn't give

--Really, what wouldn't I give?--

For a beauty like this,

This pulsing moment, this gift?


For

You have seen me and my...ah, idiosyncrasies,

Yet you stay right here with me.

And something I know: you have bared your soul.

Its glistening rawness has drawn me close. And

Beneath the night sky is born my smile

as

My wish comes true tonight:

To gaze on you, learn of your mysteries,

And be a part of your journey,

My sweet.


It's an opportunity...


Now we lie here, at this time.

Oh, this is real,

This is real, and we want it all tonight.

We're unafraid, unashamed of the fire,

And besides

We're out of sight.


I...I can't seem to think;

The scorching is too great! The heat

It drives me insane,

Pouring fire into my veins

And it looks like you feel the same...

So why don't we begin?


Wait.

Now you and me, we must choose carefully,

Try to think straight despite all of this.

One thing we know: we want this although

We'd be veering off on the wrong road.

So under the dim lights, you and I decide

Tomorrow in pain is not worth the pleasure tonight.

We're unprepared for the regrets, the secrecy;

Complex lives we lead already, you see.


Our bond's an opportunity,

Let's not waste it.

mariedavismd312: This was Avery spiritual read. The last 2 chapters where very disappointing. That was such a let down unless there is a sequel. Burgess should have been punished for what he did. There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
