schön

the east is enveloped in blue dark

the plane that carries you

diving into the abyss 

while the west appears to be engulfed in flames

a simple view from the deck

of a slow moving boat 

taking me home

with time

I will forget your face

those icy eyes

and effortless style 

in light wash jeans that dragged when you walked

but I won't forget how my heart pounded 

when I shook your hand

in the hallway

when time stopped

and everything went silent

and it was just you and me

your accent making hello

sound like 

I 

     love 

               you

you never even knew me

and I know I never knew you

but I can't help but wonder

how my heart felt in your hands

beating helplessly

till you gave it back

since then

my heart still beats like it should 

but my mind has not forgotten 

how it feels to 

fall 

in love with you.
