And suddenly, it is as if a light
is shone on me, illuminating all.
I reel, synapses firing much too
slowly. The world accelerates,
magnifies, and every detail is
significant. Each one of your
hairs shines, falling to rest as
a pool of molten gold on your shoulder.
Your lips part ever so slightly,
teeth playing coy, hiding behind
your translucent smile, and you
kiss me. I close my eyes and meet
you halfway. When we draw back,
the colours are once more muted,
and in your arms I weep.
