i was lost in thoughts grim when you passed by my side, a gang of merry pals frolicking around you

my eyes caught yours, you didn't care to smile and journeyed on

i ducked down my head, went in the comfort of my black coat, smoke from the cigar filling my lungs

wondering what just happened, rendering me numb in mind and eyes burning with desire.

found you are in my sculpture class, your favourites dandelions and iced coffee, a sprinkle of stardust in your imagination

you eager to click a picture with me, silent drives where you keep blabbering on

otherwise always grumpy and old, i find your chirping sweet, your laughter a melody to my rotting ears

slowly and slowly i start to feel things, i sing your songs in the shower and read your old texts when the clock chimes it's dawn.

i cannot fit in your group, my onyx feathers would ruin your rainbow shine

yet every analysis fails to tell why we aren't hating each other, but climbing the stairs of love.
