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.
