Do you remember the night sky conservatory? The time we picked the lock at the gate Snuck in after dark? So innocent we felt like criminals. Little did we know we were stealing Each other's hearts. Do you remember the blanket I spread out Beneath the stars that slowly revealed themselves One constellation at a time? Learning that darkness and light Can really coexist quite beautifully, Each gaining significance from the other. Do you remember the bats Scattering their silhouettes Across our unhindered gaze? Do you remember the creature Moving not far away? Do you wonder as I do, If it was our budding affection manifest To warn us we were falling? Do you remember when you said, “That was my first kiss” And your very words Altered my body chemistry? Do you remember from all the years gone by Amidst the tangled breaths and foggy windows, All the vapours of pleasure Turning into solid child? How could I not believe in magic? When what I’ve known with you Is the opposite of tragic.
