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.
