Night.

I wrote this about two months ago, found it in a journal a couple days ago and wanted to post it.

The moon's light lingers upon us both,

Your warm hand in my back pocket.

My fingers resting on your hips.

For a moment I want to ask if we can.

I want to pull you down into the grass,

holding you against me 

as we take that extra step of love.

Jenna, you have no idea

at how much I want to..

Yet I respect you too much.

I know your future plans.

I know what you want most now.

I refuse to take that chance tonight.

Baby, I love you.

I know you want out of this godforsaken town.

I know you want to get into an Ivy League school.

I know, Jenna, and I won't ruin your chances.

I would love to pull you under with me.

I would love to touch you.

You would have let me too...

Which is why I can't.

Not tonight..

Author's Note

For my girlfriend of two and a half years, Jenna.
I love you baby, and I won't ruin your chance at anything.

The world's at your feet, hun.

You are very wise. Take a a lot of wisdom to do the right things. I like the desire and the common sense of the poem. Good thing will come in time. Life is hard enough. Need to aim at great dreams and take care of the people you love. Thank you for a excellent poem.
