He looks so good...by the light of the moon. He smells so good...by the light of the moon. The waves sound intoxicating...by the light of the moon.
I like how I feel...by the light of the moon. I like how he makes me feel...by the light of the moon. He touches me just right...by the light of the moon. I take my fingers and caress his arm. I marvel at his tattoo...by the light of the moon. His eyes sparkle and glitter and my breath longs and deepens...by the light of the moon.
I want him to take my clothes off...by the light of the moon. He asks me for permission. I take his hand to my blouse. He knows what to do. All is right...by the light of the moon.
He whispers in my ear. He talks with his hands.
What will the sun reveal in the morning? I fear that what the sun reveals will not reflect the essence of what took place...by the light of the moon. I can't believe a word he says...by the light of the moon. It's a risk. It's a risk...a risk to bring the shades down low only to bring them back up...in the light of day.
What if the truth is shady? What if the truth is an illusion? What if I get swept away by nothing but shadows and romance? What if I was only ever floating in the air? What if I hit the ground hard when I turn the lights on?
Ah...what if when I roll over, he isn't there by my side? What trickery! How unfair. How unjust. Or, is it?
I made the choice to stand with him...by the light of the moon. I wanted to feel all those things I felt...by the light of the moon. I desired to touch his arm and marvel at his tattoo...by the light of the moon. I took pleasure, as he did, under the light of the moon. So what if he isn't there in the morning? I'm still in tact.
But...what if when I roll over, he IS there by my side? What if, when the sun comes to greet me, I see the truth exactly as it is? And, what if this truth is good and honorable? But, I'll never know, now will I...if I don't take the risk...and stand with him...by the light of the moon...
