All the stars are shining bright
Just like the nights when I used to hold her
She's out there somewhere under the lover's moon

It’s our 3^rd meeting by the lake at night.  After getting tired of swimming, we sat at the log by the bank watching the moon. I wanted to get to know her better and I decided it was a good opportunity to ask her.

“Why do I only I see you at night?” I asked.

“Because I only come here at night” she said, pointing out the obvious.

“I mean, how come I don’t see you around?”

“I usually keep to myself” she admitted.

“Where are you during daytime?” I asked again.

“At home” she answered.

“What do you do?” I asked.

“So many questions” she said pouting her lips.

Right then and there I would have kissed her.

A gust of wind blew and she shivered from the cold. I sat closer to her draping my arm over her shoulder.  It was good that she did not push me away. She must really be cold because she leaned into me further.

We sat side by side not speaking again, sharing each other’s warmth, looking only at the moon.

I felt happy and complete, having her beside me.

She was my goddess and I was completely under her spell.
