Heavy coats, fallen
leaves and dark family secrets. 
Eyelashes dusted with snow. 
Leather armchairs and foggy cafe windows. 
Slow- dancing in the dark. 
Clenched teeth and crowded train stations. 
The smell of a sidewalk after rain. 
Late night confessions and lipstick-stained coffee cups. 
Crooked paths through the woods. 
Hidden libraries and human skulls. 
Eating dinner by candlelight. 
Typewriters, lullabies, playing hide-and-seek. 
Kisses that stop time. 
Beethoven. 
Forbidden love
