Intricate.

In the crowd

I saw your face.

It reminded me

Of a familiar place.

We were huddling

Around the furnace.

Pottery,

In each other’s gaze.

We were crazy

In a mad love daze.

Fell out

After 306 days.

You said,

“Can’t keep up with the pace.”

I said,

“This is not a bloody race.

We should be partners,

In a lifelong maze.”

Others thought

I seem unfazed

I told them,

‘Honestly, I frequent this place.’
