yeah

so we were stepping over sparkling paving stones
the air we breathed seemed to sparkle
and inhaling left a chill on my throat
the flawless silence was broken only
by the sound of her high heels
and the occasional passing car
I would glance at her
when I thought it might go unnoticed
and I loved how the orange glow from the streetlights
made her look warm when everything around us was so cold

'can I tell you something' she said
'sure'
'you can't tell anyone though'
'okay......'

'I'm engaged'

I stop walking

the silence suffocates me
I can't stop my eyes from falling
they search the pavement for answers
for something to say
I fake a smile and look back up laughing
'oh my god, that's amazing, congratulations"!

I put my arm round her shoulders and start us walking

'Aww you really think so'?

No
I must forget you now
It's over
and I've finally found the floor
but every time i look at you
I wonder why I haven't
been looking more
it seems I'm on a circle
of which there is no end
and I dislike this pain I feel
with every breath I spend
but nothing's unfamiliar
I've seen this place before
It's like it comes to find me
an old friend that I adore
but though I still feel cheated
some things I can't forget
still I'm not defeated
there's a little fire left here yet

— The End —
