In a Whisper

I sat there quietly listening to every single word spoken,
took in every sigh and giggle you let out.
As your hand grabbed mine,
I prayed that this moment would be embedded in my memory.
The chills ran across my body, I even noticed the chills run from me to you.
"Taylor"
I heard my name many times before but none that made my heart jump,
race, and then stop all at the same time.
I began to get nervous,
sliding my hair behind my ear,
looking at my reflections on every window.
I watched you look so confident,
smiling at every person walking by,
helping a little girl look into the window to gaze at the puppies.
Soon the day would slowly turn sunset orange.
The Christmas lights lit up the downtown street,
in sight were nothing but love struck lovers.
Couples behind us, couples in front of us holding hands,
couples kissing without the mistletoe.
We smiled and continued walking down the street side by side,
awkward it may have looked to others,
but us it was comfortable.
We haven't seen each other in years and finally were able to breathe the same air zone.
We sat in his car, me looking out the window
watching the trees and houses with lights disappear out of my sight,
but knowing we were coming close to my destination.
We pulled into my drive and he turned off the engine and let the radio play in the background.
We laughed at an all of a sudden familiar song "Dancing Away with My Heart"
Knowing at some point I had to get out of the car,
I took one last look at him and smiled.
"Have a nice night."
In a whisper I believe heard, or maybe even imagined an;
"I Love You."
