Love.
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of the cloudless blue.
Laid a young couple on the green grass.
Her eyes like honey.
And his eyes like grass.
Her skin like chocolate.
And his skin like glass.
Her hair like the roots of a tree.
And his like waves in the oceans.
They were both inlove.
And as they grew together, laying side by side.
They grew older.
The eyes became tired.
Their hair became the color of clouds.
And the skin became droopy.
But they continued to lay beside eachother.
Feeling young next to eachother.
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of the cloudless blue.
They grew old and so inlove too.
