The Night before Disaster
Disbelief turns to relief.
Fear turns to love.
He really loves her, she can see.
He might be a traitor,
She might be a villain,
But tonight they're only two young people
With hearts full of love.
/
This might not last, I know.
But right now,
Morning seems eons away.
I feel him everywhere,
So, yes, he's really here.
For the first time,
I let myself go.
/
Her hair pours out,
Like black coffee out of a pot.
Slowly she relaxes,
Slowly she lets go.
Her skin, like a thousand emeralds gleaming in the Glikkish moon.
Finally I am free
With her.
