in the heart of the city, under the neon lights, our paths crossed, igniting endless nights

like fireworks that outshine the busy city

that’s how my heart feels when i look at her

the glitter in her eyes, the laughter in her smile

windswept hair and an intelligence beyond the imagination

the way my heart flutter like a butterfly

like the butterflies in my stomach, shaking the ground under me

i’m so unfamiliar to this world

what do i say? what do i do?

i want to embrace her and hold her while she talks, while she laughs, while she cries and i pat her through her sobs and my own tears

yes, i feel hopeful like the fireworks in the sky

no need to think of the aimlessky floating embers left behind

not today
