Dear K,

I remember the first time I saw you,
You were wearing a white shirt under
A black winter coat with a scarf wrapped
Around your neck. I was sitting on that
Bar stool surrounded by people when
You tapped me on the shoulder. I turned
Around and the crowd disappeared.
Suddenly it was just you, suddenly it was just us.
Since then the world just doesn't seem to
Exist outside of your beautiful smile,
No music but your voice, No stars but your eyes.
No one but you, no one but us.
I knew from the second you sat down in front of me
That I was going to fall and fall hard.
And here were are, so much time has passed and
I'm still falling every single day.
And the world has never been so empty.
And the world has never been so full.

-Michael
