That Night
It's just like that night
Do you remember that night?
That warm summer's night?
The window was open.
I had just changed the sheets in my bed
It was warm
The quilt was put away
Leaving just a sheet to cover the shy mattress
I could hear the crickets outside
Their chirping was like music
The lamp was turned off
The only light came from the shine in your eyes
I loved your eyes
I still do
They remind me of that night
Do you remember that night?
That warm summer's night?
The window was open
The air being pulled in by the attic fan smelled so sweet
Like the candles that sit on my desk
They weren't lit
They have changed since then
Since that night
Do you remember that night?
That warm summer's night?
Your voice was calming
So calming
Like the scent of the cricket song
Playing over the candles
And the naked bed
Do you remember that night?
That warm summer's night?
I felt so small and scared
This was so different
So…
So exciting
I remember that night
That warm summer's night
You were so strong
You helped me think
Helped me realize
I fell in love with you that night
That warm summer's night
Do you remember that night?
The night the bed creaked
Under new weight
Adding to the cricket songs
And the unlit candles
They didn't need to be lit
The fire was elsewhere
It was in our hearts
They didn't need to be lit
The light was elsewhere
It was in our eyes
I truly fell in love with you that night
That warm summer's night
Please remember that night
