There's a silence to the evening as the stars come out to make their quiet show

You're beautiful inscrutable illuminated by the fire's glow

Senses seem heightened as the sky slips to black from blue

There's an aura of innocence surprising after all that you've been through

 

My throat seems to tighten as I contemplate the right words to choose

There's so much I could win but equally there's so much I could lose

Your eyes are fixed on empty air are you really unaware I'm choking

On the words to make you think, bring you back now from the brink no joking

We're on the cusp, at the fork in the road

Are we on the up, or just pausing till my hopes implode

On the cusp, where the paths divide

Waiting for the moment when you decide

 

I'm watching for a signal should I make a move or leave it up to you

Hoping for a chance to slip past your defences let my love show through

Is it just the firelight or emotion that brings colour to your face

Hoping it's the right time and for once in my life I'm in the right place
