The light was changing; the shadows receding,
The night we decided together is better.
The waves edged closer as we waited on the shore,
Near the place where together is better.
Shortest night; longest day, time stood still,
When we knew, together is better.
You pulled me in; the gap bridged with a kiss
That night, we decided together is better.
I shifted, unsure, yet clear. Scared, yet soothed
And knew, that with you, together is better.
