Tales Of A Midnight Love Adventure

by ABake   Mar 15, 2008


* This is VERY long . More of a story then a poem , but I would appreciate it if you took the time to r/r/c . Please and thank you . *

Midnight :
Throwing rocks at your window , the noise is all to loud ; Considering I am not supposed to be awake at this time of night . Sighing , I turn away just as you turn on the little light that stands for our ' okay ' sign - My head is not okay with all of this , but my heart is jumping at the thought of sneaking out with you ; Right now , our destination is unknown and our cell phones are powered off with fear . . .

Two A . M . :
It`s a full moon and we are laying under a bed of stars in the back of my daddy's brand new Chevy . Normally , those crickets would of driven me insane . But ; Tonight they only set the mood . The February air is quite cold and you feel my body shiver : You pull me close to you and slowly close your beautiful brown eyes . . .

Four A . M . :
Startled , I jerk in panic ; " Shh baby , it is okay . I am right here with you . " You calm my tense nerves . I am suddenly embarrassed , realizing I fell asleep . It is like you can read my mind - " Did you know you are even beautiful when you sleep ? " Smiling , I gently squeeze your hand resting on my lower back . My heart is beating wildly - Whether it is your presence or the amount of fear I am feeling , only the Lord knows . . .

Five - Thirty A . M . :
A million kisses later , we head back into town - Dropping you off the street from your house , you kiss my forehead and slip a little box into the pocket of your hoodie I am wearing . You whisper , " Do not open this until you get home , I love you . " I watch you in amazement , until you are just a shadow sneaking back into your house : I cruise slowly down your street , hoping this is not just a silly dream . . .

Six A . M . :
Slipping into bed , I grab the delicate box from the pocket - I scan all of the possibilities and before I get the chance to open it my phone vibrates with a text message . In this silence it sounds like a bulldozer though ; Of course , it is from you , just saying ' I love you my angel . ' Carefully , I open the box - I did not find a ring , nor something of materialistic value , but a piece of paper which told the tale of a midnight love adventure . . .

    I really enjoyed this ending. The romance of opening something precious ... not materialistic ... just makes our hearts go pitter-patter. It's the little things that say "I love you" more than anything.

    I really enjoy reading short stories! This one had such an air of young love and romance to it
    and the setting brought me down the road ... of memory lane.
    Times when life was simple, sweet and beautiful. Times were a million kisses were enough to satisfy our taste for desire .... and sweet true love meant sharing a kiss and holding hands .... so unlike these days.

    You have woven a tale of sweet love in this magical little gem ... a read I much enjoyed.

    I really do love your title but .... I think I would remove the "s" from Tales .... unless you are intending on doing a part2, 3 ect ....
    Which I would be very interested in reading.

    Well done, very enjoyable
