When I saw you
You were a pale violet sky

Bare hallowed wings
You became someone
I could touch
But not recognize

Fallen ashes
Flowers wilted
A bruise wiped off your neck

Oh darling
Brush me like butterflies do
Softly hold me
In your heartbeat

Because we are only seventeen
And the night is still young

Wrap me in gossamer threads
Our hands weaving lace
And morning yellow
Is our imagination
