There it is again 
Momentary recall
That first time I saw you
Smoking on your balcony sill
Immersed in Joy Division 
A symphony in your shilouette 
September streetlights rising on every exhale 
If i could have stopped all time I would 
Escape with you in a polaroid still
Relinquished my heart 
Discovered my soul 
Eyes transfixed
Wanting only you 
Yet you looked to the world 
And you wanted it all
That song is the same now as then 
Love
love will tear us apart 
tear us apart again...

First I need to say ...Joy Division, yesss!!! Now that I am over that squeal of delight. On to the next pure piece of awesomeness

"Wanting only you 
Yet you looked to the world 
And you wanted it all"

Absolutely love those lines. Felt the desire and longing in this detailed write ... loved every word and emotion penned.

Love always dives in and haunts. Whilst we run away from it's wrath, the beautiful memories shades it all to glory, the gory want. Beautifully expressed David.

This was really fantastic! The imagery unfolded in your words as if I were truly standing there, watching her upon the balcony, witnessing the symphony of color and emotions surge all around her. And it was all sealed up beautifully by ending with the actual song. Awesome piece David :)
