For One Night

By Dave Karp

For one night

I held you in my arms

For one night

I stared in your eyes for an eternity

For one night

I felt my heart at rest

For one night

Your hand locked with mine, the puzzle put together

For one night

I heard the words “I love you” whispered in my ear like a new spring wind

For one night

The sky echoed a long last dream

For one night

The stars surrounded me and flooded my body

For one night

I walked with you through the streets and saw no one else

For one night

My mind surrendered to peace

For one night

Your kiss awoke all I could ever offer

For one night

I found heaven in our hearts

For one night

Why one night, just one night.
