Rina and Alexander

In just one moment,
my paradise,
my world shattered around me.
He crumbled it up,
taking my breath away,
destroying everything I have built around me
in
one
swift glimpse.

That’s when we met,
as we stood before each other in silence,
in an unspoken hello.
I quickly drowned inside his gaze,
trying to save him from mine.

I laughed –
a bitter, nervous and eerie laughter.
I laughed
because I never believed in love at first sight,
not me,
I was much smarter then that.
I laughed because,
now that it has happened,
in that same moment my heart broke,
hacked to
dripping
with
sorrow
pieces
right before my eyes.
I fell in love that could never soar,
and tomorrow I will come crashing down.
There will be no one to catch me.
I will free fall through white clouds,
through rain,
through sunshine and through snow,
and through fiery and yellow autumn leaves.
I will fall through seasons,
I will fall through years,
I will fall through joys and sorrows,
through sickness and good health,
and I will keep falling until we meet again.

I realized I was staring at him,
and he at me.
Were my lips moving?

It didn’t matter
because he leaned over
and whispered everything he’s been trying to tell me with his eyes.


So when our lips met,
I wept at
the thought of never tasting them again,
and when our bodies touched,
I only wished to stay there forever.

In the morning
I was gone.
back to my world.
Emptier then ever,
I kept wondering
if I will ever see him again.
