A Magical Night

Misty and damp, the nighttime atmosphere was illuminated by hazy, orange street lamps.
We were connected by cellular wires, as we held our phones so tightly.
"Where are you?"
My right ear was hanging on to every breath and sound escaping your lips, as I ran excitedly in search for you.
Turning each corner of the building, my heart raced faster; so fast, it rattled loudly within the cage of my ribs.
My innermost core was yearning to find you.
At the last bend, I was briefly frozen in my tracks at the sight of your celestial silhouette.
You turned, and fixed your gaze on me.
Without further hesitation, I flew to you to be met with the sweetest embrace ever bestowed to me.
Then, with your hand in mine, we ventured off into the rest of the night together, having never felt more young and free.  I remember that I never wanted the night to end. 
"I wish the sun didn't have to come up."
During that time with you, I realized I had stumbled upon a large puzzle piece that had been missing for a very long time. And it fit so perfectly.
I will always remember the colors, the sounds, and the way you held me that night, as you shared with me a story you had written.  It was the best story I had ever heard in my life.  Wrapped in pillowy blankets and feeling our hearts so close, I was so glad we were found.

You played this song for me that night.  And since then, it remains within me.
