THE THIRD NIGHT

On the first night
Quietly, we were side by side
Many things we wanted to talk
Why did we keep them in our hearts?
On the second night, silent and silent
Eyes wanted finding, hearts wanted saying
On the first day when we both were confused
Just one thing,
Why didn't we quickly say it?
I hesitated, but then hurriedly counted the moon and the stars
You would pretend to break the grass leaves
In the middle of a sparkling moonlight night
Why the Love word kept hiding
How could we stay silent?
Or we were lying to our honest hearts.
Many thoughts were rushing through
Overflowing us
I loved you so much, but I did not dare to say it out loud
You knew, of course, but you were a female.
On the third night, I suddenly sat very close to you
The night was trembling as much as the off beat of our hearts
I did not know why I held on too tight to your body
Frantic, you buried it completely into mine
Our thousand cells awoke
The night spun round and round along the grass tangling with our feet
The wind gently took of the robe
exposing
the tenderly silky moon
Birds softly
snuggled in a mass of leaves
Listening to happiness rained in the peaceful zone
Love kept surging during the first moment of love.
