Before You Came
The man pushes food in her face, she pushes him away, they laugh and do it all over again. He kisses her, she kisses him, then walks away.
Piccadilly Circus, and you’re watching - stalking - the blonde in a red hoodie. Carefree, she runs, oblivious to what lies ahead. And you follow, coat flapping at your heels, desperate to catch another glimpse of the unawakened wonder in her eyes.
This is what you took her away from.
You gave her the stars. She gave you her universe.
And you’ll never ask if it’d be better had you never taken her hand.
