“And Then She Smiled”

From the moment you and I
became a we, an us,
I had a different life
from the time before love
no better or worse
Just loveless, of course
a human machine
moving from day to daydream
surviving, breathing,
existing without meaning
as souls meet and kiss
and we evolve to something else
there’s a sense of wonder
in you and I together
like child hiding under the duvet
our time, before regret,
was a valley of flowers
