That night I laid beside you <br />With one hand upon your heart <br />It beat ever so gently <br />As we laid there in the dark <br />For hours we spoke <br />Only with honesty and truth <br />Somewhere between our words <br />I fell in love with you <br />We spoke in quiet whispers <br />Careful not to wake our friends <br />As they slept we had conversation <br />That seemed to know no end <br />You told me of your weakness <br />Of your fears and your past <br />I shared with you the stories <br />Of the loves that could not last <br />For once I was contempt <br />Just to have someone there <br />Somehow in that conversation <br />I let myself open up and care <br />My heart ceased it's breaking <br />And my mind laid to rest <br />Your eyes brought me smiles <br />While your heartbeat eased my breath <br />For the first time I was happy <br />Happy to have someone to hold <br />As I wrapped you tight in my arms <br />To shield you from the cold <br />As the sun began to rise <br />In the window it shined through <br />You pulled me ever closer <br />And I fell asleep, At Peace, with you<br /><br />Tatianna Rei Moonshadow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-peace-3/
