NINE NOTES AND A CHIME

Moonlight disco,

Nine notes and a chime.

This moment.

This song.

I hold my breath.

All around us,

Awkward teenagers desert the dance floor.

You, a whisper away,

Unsure.

I risk my life with two words.

Shall we?

Seven more notes.

Your ice-blue gaze bewitches my skin.

You take my hand,

Pull me close,

Turn my name into something sacred.

Tonight,

After nine notes and a chime,

I hope.

After seven more notes,

I know.
