Her face is soft and yielding
Full of sweet notes
And cadences
We sing together
The sound worth more than the rhyme
Together we walk
A special day
Leaves falling
Sky turning blue
We wish for coldness
To feel huddled up
Our notes trace our steps
A slow kind of tune
We would not know how to dance quickly
We would rather walk slowly
Taking in the air
Absorbing the sights and sounds
Together we sing as one
She has a sweet and tender voice
I caw like a crow
She doesn't mind
As long as we are both singing
We dream of drinking lemonade
We dream of empty fields
Her face will illuminate the air
Sweet cheeks
And bright pink lips
We wish to sing
We wish to feel
We wish to be as one
And so I fall into her face
And sleep peacefully
Full of pink and purple.
I love the ending. :)

I like reading this as if it’s about a little girl whose best friend is her My Little Pony.
