A Sonnet

"Just smile for me." He asks
with that silly look on his face.
I can't-I won't take off my mask
and show you how I feel about this place.
The lights around us have grown dim
and the stars are all we see.
The moon is cradled in his rim
of silver and effervescent glee.
He takes my hands in his
his cold fingers make me shiver.
Tonight we focus on what is
and remember we never say 'don't ever'.
I don't think I'll ever be the same
now that I can't call out his name.
