No Words Were Spoken

No words were spoken

Magnetically our hands joined
at the palms warm and tender
as reverberating heartbeats touched
the pavement with each step

We walked arm in arm as our
love illuminated across the city
skyline and reflected off buildings

Heartfelt smiles brush stroked
across faces with each passerby

Shopping windows mirrored us
from place to place

Beams of flashing lights showered
a halo of streamers and confetti
as we began dancing cheek to cheek

No words were spoken

We’re holding hands in the city
we’re holding hands
and I love you
