a night of never befores

a girl could’ve been a cat that night
for it seemed like she had nine lives
for all the moments she was caught off guard
her heart stopped in its beating tracks
it had never been done before
like never ever ever never
but that night made everything different
graced the family with such polite presence
conversation flowed everywhere with such ease
not only the heart stopped, but speech too
with the nonchalant intertwining of hands
blushed like never before
nervousness built itself from within
time stood still when joined in arms
not just once, but twice too
to melt and fall was all she felt
such warmth such security such comfort
a safe haven she wished not to break away
oh how her mind spun its replay
again and again and again
making her dizzy feeling ever so happy

thanks for a night extraordinaire
of renewed hope joy and magic
