Up Close

The sun was in our eyes
We huddled together from the biting chill
Our hearts were racing and my legs were still shaking from the climb
The closeness apparent in our rounded faces
The closeness obvious in our smile
The closeness clear to see and straight from our hearts


Up on top of the world today, my girl and I 
Up on top of the hill with the sky so blue and the colours popping all around us
We scrambled up with no-one to hold my hand
My heart pounded as my head lost it's confidence
My feet stood firm; I'd found a path
Up on top of the world today, my girl and I
Up close where we could touch the sky.
