The dark shadow creeps slowly
Across the wooden floor
Slower and slower it gets as
it heads towards the door.
Clothed in a cape flowing
Down to the dusty ground,
The shadow increases its…

She pushes through the throngs of people
rushing to make her train
rushing to see him.
She missed him this morning
only catching a glimpse
not seeing the eyes which
have captured her hea…

He had one hand on her waist. The other was in her hair.
Oh God.
Here he was, standing in front of her. Moving closer. His face getting even closer to hers. His soft mouth smiling down at her.

Peals of laughter under the summer sun
Once ashore, they link arms
Skipping along the path to destiny
Golden hair flowing behind
