What a beautiful place. The quiet concrete streets, far beyond the city lights, the fucked up society, the pointless clatter. Just a simple place, where the stars are visible to the two pairs of eyes beneath the dark night sky. Countless numbers of boutiques, stores, cafes, the simple places passing in your presence. Each breathe you take can be seen from a block away while our bright pink noses can be seen from a few feet away. Wearing heavy clothing holding in the heat for the warmth of your body. The very same body holding your heart. It’s cold, but your heartbeat provides the heat that you need, yet you continue to wonder, why is such a thing like this racing so fast? Is there a connection? Then you realize what is snuggled up in your arms. It’s him, and you can’t help but smile. You lean towards him and laugh. Laughter in the reminiscing of every step you had taken to get here. The whole day you experienced together. Stepping on the never ending sidewalks, ones that have already been stepped on many times before. But this time it was special, there was something in the way you walked on them, together. What was it though? Everything. It can all be summed up within the whisper of a simple “I love you.” Your cold breath strikes his ear. Surprised, he shrugs his left shoulder, smiles while looking into your eyes, and gives you a kiss. The breaths that have been lingering all day and night have now become one. What a beautiful day. What a beautiful night. Walking along, side by side, until you stop. The next block is still a few steps away, but you look back although your mind is still focused on the journey ahead with him. To that place, that one place, in ecstasy.

With you next to me, there’s no darkness that I can’t overcome.
