Life, its a simple thing, with pleasures ranging from extravagant to, well, simple. Firefly dancing an endless waltz in the air sets so many emotions of. Fond memory of past friends and relationships. But the main thing that they remind me is that life is fleeting, it can be over before you know it, but thats the fun in life. I was sat in the sunset, the light illuminated the scene perfectly. She was next to me. Alice Curtis. Her long brown hair blew in the wind and her fair skin had the texture of velvet, smooth, so smooth. The firefly were now dancing the tango, passion and love filled the air around me, it was so thick i feared i might suffocate. She turned, her hair sweeping over her shoulders. And i fell in love for the second time this evening. Her lipstick glistened in the soft light of the now descending sun, the shimmers dancing like the firefly, and something in her eyes burned with seductive innocence. Her soft voice curled into my ears. "nice night, inst it" she smiled, not a big one, but so beautiful. Her hand touched mine. And we just stared into each others eyes for what seemed an eternity. The grass on the hill swayed in time the dancing firefly, and the birds sung for them. I edged closer. So did she. Then, our lips met. We kissed. Our souls bonding. Possessing the fly and making them swoop and rocket in the air like the butterflies in my stomach. Our connection was like a Juggernaut and wouldn't be stopped. We wanted this to never stop. We wanted to dance in each others arms. Her lips were so soft, mine were chapped and coarse in comparison, but she didn't stop, we merged into one, our souls coalesced in the air with the firefly's . They glowed pink, like roses. I couldn't imagine a better evening.
Life, its fleeting, one second its there and then its gone. Some moments go so quickly, but some last for what seems forever. That kiss we shared was one of those moments, and led to many others. The scene was a magestic one,us two sitting on a little blanket on top of a grassy hill, the wind blowing at our hair gently, the sun slowly going to sleep, the birds serandeing the us the fireflys dancing for us the world seemed to be in perfect harmoney, leading up to a spectacualr cusendo, because lif, is all about wishful thinking, if i never wished that this would happen it never would never have ocured. Life, you see is built on wishfull thinking. I wounder what fireflys wish, becuase i think at this moment it came true.. After the kiss, we joined the now graceful dance of the fireflys, and held each other close. We began to glow, like the fireflys and dance, for love, for passion, for lust, for ever.
