I followed
gladly I followed
your footsteps
through the streets
the alleys dimmed
by building shadows
and labyrinthine paths
I held in my heart
the past images
of you in a striped shirt
while we danced
at the fair
or when you looked
simply looked at me
from across the room
and I was yours
but this time
when we emerged
into a courtyard
where the building facades
were married with vegetation
and we came to a pause
at a door and a line
to wait for entry
I felt a whimper in my chest
as you were two steps
ahead of me
but you looked back to me
held out your hand
motioned for me
and the world was heaven
as you took my hand
