i won.
at least, that's what it
felt like.

it was a burst of
pure adrenaline rushing to and fro
in the depths of my body.

i will never find anyone
as lovely as him.

no matter how hard
i mine,
or borrowed,
or stole,
there will be no
diamonds
worth as much as the ones
in his eyes
at that moment
that seemed to take him
to his paradise.
