When a girl tells you she loves you

Y'all two are sittin' on a bench
Alone somewhere in some park
Y'all's hands finally touch and y'all done forgot
About this past in hiding that now seems so damn far.

Her thumb presses on yours
With y'all's hands intertwined
Oh God, how cold did your coffee feel
Compared to this warmth of her
Skin illuminated by the moonlight.

It took no words to explain
The communication expressed in y'all's fingers,
How that thumb of hers stroked your knuckle,
How this fragile silence just stayed with y'all to just.. linger.

She exhales.
You close your eyes and slightly tighten your grip.
You inhale,
As her pointer finger traces over your wrist.

She looks in your direction
And a smile slowly fills her lips.
You breathe out softly,
As your hair is blown to your forehead by the wind.

Her gaze hits you,
Yours hits her eyes
Buy you ain't fixin' to kiss her
Feelin' so young as the night.

She blushes some,
And you do too.
But y'all's feelins subside
Until three words escape from her mouth
As a soft whisper,
"I love you."
