First

Today, you looked at the sky

And I saw you were wandering high.

Above the clouds your mind danced,

Your eyes sparkly as if in a trance.

I pulled you close to me afraid you would let go

I held your hand in mine afraid you would know

The feelings which laid deep inside

Rooted and hidden from the outside.

Yet you looked at me knowingly

As if you knew it all

Your smile all but disgust

As you appreciated my soul.

Your lips trembled and I could resist no more

Stole a kiss from you and the world just stopped

Your hand found mine as my eyes grew shut

Our bodies quickly molding into one.

That was the story of our first smile

Which soon turned into our first lie.

This one spends most of the time building us up with its description of burgeoning love, then in the last line pulls the rug out from under us. Of course, we don't know for sure how the relationship went thereafter, but the implication of trouble is planted. Clever work.

Thank you for your kind words John :)
