Suddenly

The sun reached out across the valley
  we stood on the the ridge holding hands
sharing secrets that dangerously
  fell from our lips
Bonded, as the sunrise witnessed
  our nakedness

Never have I believed in innocense
  the way I trusted in it then
Never did I experience the joy of intimacy
  the way I did then

You did not know of the apple
  and I knew of no such temptation
You locked your eyes onto mine
  and the heat of the sun wrapped
us in a blanket of yellow
  We were given all that the earth
had to give
  We had no promises to break
and then suddenly,
  we grew up...

Beautiful piece of writing here SG..
such an unexpected ache to the ending.
Well done!

dancing with you in the summer rain~
