I saw you at the cafe in the square.
You were alone.
However,  you seemed in the company of thousands
of so much light that showed your eyes.

I approached and spoke to you.
No sound came out of my mouth,
I lacked the courage.

To climb a staircase that high,
to touch the clouds with my fingertips,
and feel the celestial blue
just to see the
most beautiful
Angel,
You.

But the staircase crumbles and starts to fall
and I dive in freefall towards
the earth.

The place where you're not.

The clouds are afraid for themselves and run.
The night conquers the sky.

And you stay away.
Invisible. Untouchable.

I keep flying unwillingly.
A few more seconds and I collapse.

But you look at me,
If only you want - says your mouth - Grow wings
and fly to me.

I stop and hover.
I'm falling no more

I feel them growing.
Beautiful and heavenly feathers.
Like yours.
If your voice gave me such a gift,
what could give me your touch?

I climb the skies and challenge the world.
Your world.
The clouds bend to my passage,
heaven becomes colorless for fear of my presence
and you're close, visible.
Almost there.

I saw you at the cafe in the square.
But you have company
yet you look alone.

The light dies because your eyes are closed.
And you stay away, invisible, untouchable.

I fell on the earth

The place where you're not.
