As soon as I seen her,

I had the urge to sin.

I wanted her.

The breeze lent me her scent before we even crossed paths.

Beyond lovely,

I envisioned us exchanging laughs,

Share time,

Make love,

Stargaze while we lay in the grass.

The confidence I had

In the ways I’d treat her-

Wine dates,

Food from scratch,

Tickets and all the snacks at the theatre.

Hell,

I’d be loyal,

Give her any time she wants,

Pick of the litter,

Jacket over the puddle,

Build a house from rubble,

Hustle to buy her any shoe that’d fit her…

My thoughts were interrupted by a homeless man asking for cash.

Looking around for her beauty,

I hadn’t noticed she passed.
