you came into my life
in the evening.
a mistake in disguise
trying to make sense
of what your parents wanted
you to become.
you had a way with words
that i envied
and a sense of yourself
that i knew had undertones
of the aggression you suppressed.
our love was fresh in summer
flirting with pool water &
kissing in citrus winds.
our innocence was lost
in our communication
and blurred in our touches.
our love died
when the leaves began to fall
and the winds turned to cinnamon.
one last kiss transpired
as midnight struck
and strangers we became once more.
