I remember when we first met

Light flickered in your eyes
the way moonlight reflects
through cold crystals

Your voice that made me deaf
to the loudest of angel hymns
surrounding you

Like the sun
I behold you in sight before
withdrawing from a dangerous stare

Being so close
it suffocated me
yet so far to leave me
of beautiful agony for you

A smile that embeds in your
skull for a day you want
to remember it's perfection

And with the torture of goodbye
we croaked out between soft lips
"see you later"
like it was a promise
