Underneath the Tree

It was beneath the tree that she waited,
The footsteps of the one she held dear drawing ever closer,
Step by step.
No lights were needed.
He would suffice.
Leaves fluttering around them,
He stops.
The moons shimmers on the rippling water that surrounds.
She imagines the moon lighting his eyes.
Will it light her own?
"Is this a special place for you?"
He gently asks her back.
She runs her fingers across the gnarled bark.
"This is a special tree.
Did you know that?"
There is no answer.
She remembers the first time they came here.
Cold and ruthless,
He would be hers,
Possibly against his will.
His flame had not yet been lit.
He was blissfully unaware.
"Are we here to fight again?"
He breaks the silence.
"This tree is a special place.
It is where I made up my mind.
It is said that those who confess their love here will be together forever."
She turns,
Her face growing hot.
His face has taken on a crimson hue,
His hair fluttering in the breeze.
His heartbeat has quickened.
The flame burns hot.
The cold night air goes unnoticed.
There is no stopping now.
"You are the man I love.
Will you accept my feelings?"
It was neither long nor deep,
But it was passionate.
They embraced,
His warmth driving away the cool air,
Like a warm fire.
She feels him smile against her cheek.
"I accept."
