We walked alone like creatures extinct along abandoned streets.
I loved you more than God could ever imagine.
The leaves flew like birds from the branches
as the clouds broke down into little doves that fell like dead snow.
Your arms got stuck around my waist.
And my eyes were chained to your pretty face.
Our kisses stopped the world
like your hair trapped in motionless wind.
When I turned around, and your eyes were still on fire,
I lifted your legs and walked into the eternal shadows.
