nights like these

the fire burns hot

flames reaching towards the sky

we sit just close enough to feel its glory

music booms from the speakers on the back deck

we sing along and dance

fading into the night

blending into the roaring flames

your arms are wrapped tightly around me

my hands cover yours

i look to you

you grin, crooked teeth showing proudly

“i live for nights like these.” you say

i smile and turn away

staring into the heat

“i only live in nights like these.”

and the whole world is still

Life is strange and people are complicated, and that is why I love to write.
