The canvas was splattered with azure oceans
as he smoked away his worst nightmares.
His hands dripped with the blue of the sky
while he kissed every Polaroid frame that captured her smile.
With emotions threaded into carefully worded songs,
he closed his eyes to remember what her hands felt like intertwined with his
and how his heart thudded beating inside hers.
He dreamt of planting the flowers of their love all around the world but,
they could barely make it through the ruthless city without falling apart.
