Arm in Arm
By Michael Grego
(written prior to his accident)
The moment has arrived.
This image, it seems, has forever been
in my mind.
The night is here. I’m waiting for her arrival.
I see her.
The sight of her is almost more than I can bear.
My eyes are blinded by her beauty.
Never have I seen anything so beautiful.
I am joyous. I shall dance.
I shall dance with ecstasy, as well as
Contentment, for she is in my arms,
and I’ll always be in hers.
I wish this moment would never end.
I shall not allow it’s ending in my mind.
It shall stay with me for all eternity.
The night is almost over,
though we wish it wasn’t.
The night glimmers with stars;
the moon, brightly shining.
The closing song has begun.
Neither of us want this moment to end.
It ‘s almost like a dream.
I expect to wake up,
and find out that it was only my imagination.
The night is over,
but the feelings shall forever
remain in my heart.
I'm in her arms.
Wishes are spoken
that each other may stay,
but it’s not to be.
The night is over
and parting is certain.
Separate ways we go
with the hope
that we may meet again.
