An evening with you

Let's sit by the window of our top floor apartment. Turn off those lights and let the room be bathed in the light of the candle I hold. I see your face.. your eyes that mean the world to me. Blow out the candle. Darkness for a moment. Then, light from the far-away-yet-so-close skyscrapers seeps in and I see your eyes again..those brown eyes.. Shania Twain playing in the background. Looks like we made it Look how far we've come my baby We mighta took the long way We knew we'd get there someday I look down at the minuscule people walking back home at this hour, possibly drunk after a night of clubbing. The fact that they stay up past 11 just to get drunk always went over me. But do I care? I have better reasons to stay up till dawn. A momentary shrug and I look back into those eyes. Who cares what the world does when I have you by my side? The light still dim, a blanket warming us.. You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're the one I want for life And the blown out candle still in my hand..the clubbers still walking by..
