Main Street

I will never forget our first embrace
Beneath lamplight on a dark street
In an old town.
Holding you close, calling your name,
Looking into your wondrous eyes,
Then touching you, feeling your velvet
Softness and the night air.
Later, in the car, kissing you,
Your face, your mouth, the back of your neck,
Your beautiful shoulders;
The sweetness everlasting.
When I lay down that night without you 
I cried,
With joy.
