a loud sound
from across the restaurant
she looks at me
in fear
she yells
my name
BANG BANG BANG
a family
screams
I turn
my head
I see
a man
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
people are running
crawling
screaming
my ears
are ringing
I slam my face
to the ground
she is under the booth
she is crying
tears are running
along her cheek
onto the floor
I look into her eyes
they are blue
they are beautiful
I look for a long time
I swim in the ocean
I drift away
I am drenched
with the colours
of her soul
I look
forever
I look
for as long as I can
because I love her
she is the best part of my day
she is the ocean
she is the water that gives me life
I stare
into the black centers
of her eyes
for as long as I can
because her eyes
aren't moving
she isn't looking
at me
she isn't looking
at anything
