#leyla
I saw her first in shadows,
her silence speaking louder than I could.
She moved like she carried storms
tucked beneath ribs that refused to break.
The wind curled softer near her,
a whisper I strained to hear,
her hair wild as untamed fields,
her eyes holding secrets I wasn’t ready for.
Every step she took rewrote me,
pages of my heart rearranged entirely.
It wasn’t love
not yet
but something
ancient and longing lived between us.
She didn’t see me then.
But the wind did.
It told me her name.
Leyla.

To the tune of Around her Neck.
Around her neck she wore a very long
scarf!
She wore it in the springtime and in
the month of May,
And if you asked her why the heck she
wore it,
She wore it for a Time Lord
Who was
very far away!
Far away! Far away! She wore it for a
Time Lord who was very far away!
On her side she wears a shiny new gun.
She wears it in the springtime and in
the month of May!
And if you asked her, "Why the heck she
wears it?"
She wears it for a Brigadier
Who is very
Far away!
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for a Brigadier
Who was very far away!
On her shirt she wears a golden star
She wears it in the springtime and in
the month of May
And if you asked her, "Why the heck she
wears it?"
She wears it for Adric who is very far
away!
Far away! Far away!
She wears it for
Adric
who is very far away!
At her feet there sits a Metal Doggie.
He sits there in the Springtime and in
the month of May.
And if you asked him "why the heck he
sits there?"
He sits there for our Savage who is very
far away.
Far away! Far away!
He sits there for
Our Savage who is very far away!
