As we sat quiet, the two of us,
the day passed, dusk fell,
birds returned to their nests
and the night set in.
We waited without caring
if there would be darkness
or a moonlit night.
We sat quiet
as strange creatures
surrounded us like foliage;
but we didn't look at them.
It grew darker still
until we couldn't see each other.
We sat silent
without exchanging a single word,
but we could feel each other's breathing.
We continued to sit
as dew fell
and mist gathered around us.
And then I felt my feet freezing.
But before I could turn into ice,
someone placed his hand on mine.
