"The Night We Shared"

Today my thoughts, they drifted to you, 
I should have known, they always do.
Your in my heart, my soul, my mind, 
Our roads of fate forever intertwined.
You know that nervous feeling you sometimes get?
That's the way I felt when we first met.
I can still see your smile, the look on your face,
That is one memory time cannot erase.
That day seems like so very long ago, 
Things have changed since then I know.
The best of friends we once were,
We could have been more if it wasn't for her.
She drove a wedge between you and I, 
She ruined it all because of a lie.
Because of one night, the night we shared,
It was then I realized how much you cared.
You held me in your arms, held me so tight,
You said it was wrong, but that it felt right.
The night passed, and morning came,
But things between us were just never the same.
She told me I hurt her, and hurt you,
Little did she know, I was hurting too.
In the wake of it all, I sat and I cried,
After that I only felt numbness inside.
As weeks went by, I thought of you,
You were still angry, what could I do?
I waited for something, what I'm not sure,
Then you sent me a message saying "I broke up with her"
The relief I felt inside was so extreme,
I couldn't believe it, it was like a dream.
Then one night, you wanted to meet,
We went to the park, the one on main street.
We talked and we laughed about what we had missed,
Until under the stars for the first time we kissed.
I snuck out that night to see you again,
Had I ever been happier? I can't remember when.
You held me close, I could hear your heart beating,
I'll never forget our early morning meeting.
You asked me for a kiss, then we said goodnight,
That moment was so beautiful, and it still felt right.
We continued that way for just a day or two,
I was beginning to wonder if I loved you.
My answer came Sunday, ‘round six or so,
Your words brought me tears, why I didn't know.
From there it got worse, my heart broken again,
I longed for the day when the pain would end.
It's been a month now, since our night in the park,
Just me and my memories, alone in the dark.
The future unsure of what will happen now,
I am certain it will work out eventually somehow.
People say I'm naive, that it's too late
But in my heart forever, I would wait.
I know somehow that deep down you care,
Until then my sweet, until the next night we share.
