We walked,
Side by side down
Familiar streets-
The lights from
Nearby shops
Bounce off from
Your cheeks, your eyes,
Your lips- revealing
A faint smile,
An empty gaze
We walked
Side by side down
Familiar streets
With an unfamiliar feeling-
I hold you closer
As you drift
Farther away.
The change that you sense taking place in the second part of the poem is very sad.
Great work! 🦋
