I love you
he said

how much?
she said

the world
he said

there's more than
that

the stars and moon
the universe
the hidden leaves
he said

she blushed

I love you too
she said

I know

the depths of the
Antarctic snow

she said
he said

I love you too

she said
he said
she's dead

she bled
the light of moons
eclipsed

I love you too
he said
she said
is it too soon?

away she slipped

the way a tide
decides a ship
