It's Nights Like These


I pranced down the stairs of my dorm.
I hoped to the ground from the last step in a subconscious cheerfulness.
I pushed open the doors to wander outside… and it was then I fell in love.

I love the nights where the air has almost a pleasant thickness about it… not humidity, but something entirely past wonderful.
I grinned as I walked, because these are the nights that I love the most… the nights that laughter is like a melody, and silence is sweeter than ice cream.

It is nights like these that I know I am alive.
Nothing of significance happens, but the night itself is significant.
It is nights like these that I look up at the stars and my soul twirls within me, praising God in its own way that causes my heart to flutter and my mind to seep in understanding.

It is nights like these that make me realize that I love life.
I love everything about it… the horrible days, the mediocre, and the very greatest.

It is nights like these that make me love my Savior more.

It is nights like these that remind me exactly what love is… and I fall into it ever more.
