There. That's the place.


The place I met you.


You stood, smiled, and ran towards me.


Beneath your joy, I saw a certain sadness.


You suddenly stopped,


And gave me a look that will forever haunt me.


My eyes filled with dread,


And you gave me one more serious, sad look,


Then once again, ran to me with a smile.


I shook my head, no, but you didn't see.


Your eyes were closed, you look peaceful...


Almost as if you jumped into my arms,


Not off the ledge


Of the Clock Tower.
