when i first saw you i saw a light
coming out of your chest
your eyes have something in them
have no idea what
i’m pretty soft-spoken soft-hearted
an introvert
with you i see angels
not only that, but i can overtly tell you about it
feel you’ll get me, you know
he said simply, in one beat,
comfortably sunk in the white leather armchair
legs crossed, nice big-buckled belt
black hair rebelling on his forehead
i wanted to draw the contour of his young lips
with my finger
caress his words as he uttered them
but i stayed put
for fear not to chase away
the angels that he saw around me
mumbled love words were fighting to break loose
surround him and cushion all the future blows to his heart
yet sweet loud music saved me once again
a fake long cough, a quick cold drink
then politely cleared my throat.
Got out of it
gracefully
