you.
a shadow in the dark.
hide away, don't let them see you.
invisibility is key.
don't let them know you.

alleyways were your home,
after you'd been drunk
on booze and scotch.

no one wanted you.
but then you found me.

noticed you weren't alone.
realized you weren't the only one who enjoyed the drunkenness.

made your way over and slurred a hello
the taste of strawberries and cigarettes lingering from your breath.

before I could nod,
you disappeared into the midnight shadows.
your heartbeat echoing in my mind

you hid your face, identity unknown.
except.
glowing like embers.
sparks from a fire.

your brown eyes.
