Where Earth Ends and Heaven Begins

We met on a Saturday,

A chilled November evening

When the heat inside was

Magnified by bodies jumping,

 

Dancing to the rhythm from

A jukebox playing in the corner of the hall,

Lively jaunting melodies

Kept filling up the air.

 

You were sad when first we met,

Looking for a shoulder you could

Lean upon, needing someone

To restore your faith in love.

 

I was wide-eyed, filled with

Expectation, just a bumpkin

From the country with an

Empty open heart to fill.

 

We had just one dance that night;

Threw all caution to the winds.

I held you in forever…

Where earth ends and Heaven begins.
