They were alone, he and she.
Backs against the world,
Faces towards the heavens:
Not a human soul nearby.
Yet wildlife lingers;
A bluepurplesilver dragonfly flutters past their feet;
Greenyelloworangered leaves of trees
Stencil dark, geometric shadows onto their bodies.
Painstakingly perfect - like a cookie cutter.
They were alone, he and she.
Left alone to gaze at the clouds:
Swirls, curlicues, swoops, dots.
Synergy, these nonsensical shapes and lines form:
A German Shepard's head; a compressed hamburger; a sailboat;

and realizing that I loved you in a way...
A love that defied explanation or description,
stronger than anything I'd felt before,
sweeter than any that I could've had
for some girl who blew me kisses or flashed me smiles.
Purer than any other love, because loving you
is what taught me what loving someone is
