Beautiful...
The ethereal shimmer surrounds us;
But what can I speak?
This nervous air,
Quiet, quiet...
Transfixed.
Soft words fleet across your lips,
Lost...
Are they forgotten?
Breathed in by fear?
Silenced.
Are we now caught inside the truth?
Trying to deny...
Ourselves?
You?
Me?
Why?

Such tender confusion,
Embraced in every violet kiss...
What spell has broken?

Is it...
No...

Needing a reason...

Love?
