The first time
that I
saw you
I was scared and wild
I loved you
for your
anger
as rebellious as a child

You showed
me that
love exists
(but also, love's deceit)
in the laughter
of the moon
and the kiss of
your bedsheets

the violin
goes on
as I hear it
play our song
where you
and I
danced in meadows
and I could do no wrong

But winter
comes when
I close my eyes,
the seasons always go
and when
I find
the strength
to open them,
I see eternal snow.

But even if
I knew
that we would
find lover's demise
I would have
loved you
anyway
even though I sensed goodbye.
