i loved you last night
by Melissa Arel
i loved you last night
and even the moon's stillness
could not behold Love's beauty
as i touched your face
i felt my spirit cry with the wet tears
that kissed your lips
and then i understood what it meant to be alive
we carved a star into the sky's soul
as it gathered our dreams to its bosom
and i held you close to me
hearing your heart beat in rhythm
to each of my sighs
yes, i loved you last night
and i now know i shall love you
all the more hereafter
