Suddenly I felt a surge run through my bones, The very essence of need was met She appeared out of nowhere Vibrant brown eyes elegant the way the light shone off her shoulders The crowd went wild Jumping around, shouting This sensation kept quiet, shown all around me The nights spent in silence listening with my headphones Reading the lyrics to every song Syncing my lips with hers Verbatim I was face to face with this woman I barely knew I related to every song. Closing my eyes Putting myself in place of her microphone My heart was instantly filled Hearing her in person Seeing every expression The slight gestures her hands made The absolute joy of watching her smile Her eyes closed baring her very soul I felt privileged as every time her eyes opened was like receiving a gift Her brilliant hair shone, caressing the nape of her neck Continuing to reach down The way she vocalized, the amount of emotion printed across her face She sung a loud what she felt What couldn't be held in any more An explosion of butterflies littered the air Meeting mine half way Those big round eyes that could have spoke without having to say a word We made public our late night affair The many times her voice filled me with life This urgency that continuously made my heart flutter She sung on inviting the melody to follow right behind Surely an invitation of what was kept inside to come alive, right inside of me A deliverance of comfort Insisting that she would always be there In the memories made with closed eyes as she disappeared off the stage
