we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves
- Don Marquis, The Lesson of the Moth


She fell in the most peculiar way

and you for her on a magical day

the beat in her heart stayed the same

while your beat seemed to change

 

Your arms around her felt so right

her hands in yours her touch was light

her laugh on your mouth stayed in your mind

your world so perfect, her stars aligned

 

Something so perfect isn't made to last

your hand entwined in hers is past

the time you spent, gone in a breath

she kissed your cheek and wished you the best
