green eyes
pale skin
you- know- me- already
so much better than most
...the endless loop
of your mouth/and/your/words...
too young to walk
around with your ghost,...
old enough to know
what .you're. worth.
and the miles
...and years between us
...don't scare me...
but the steps I take
with~out~you
KEEP me
from getting any
sleep

"Je t'aime."
She told you.
But you couldn't understand her
So you left and never came back.


"Je t'aime."
She said to him.
This time he understood her.
"Au revoir."*
Because he didn't love her back.
