We fell in love,
well
when together
our eyes did, if then, I felt
she feared …
told me
run away.
I could not,
a person feels compelled;
natural beauty was
her.
In the end
the fraud he claimed to rue,
his manifest drew.
We knelt our circumstance,
she knew
I in her passion felt moments were new
spring would be
his hope, my hope,
she returned
not to me.
We fell in love.
