Your white dress gripped your body
like melting snow hugged the sidewalks
And the feelings of the night invaded
Everyone lucky enough to see you.

You had matching heels on and
You didn’t get to wear them often.

The moon and stars are always beautiful
But they were playing second fiddle for the night
And they could have exploded without
Me noticing.

There was a warmth about you that made
Any thoughts of cold unthinkable
And unfeelable,
But maybe that was from sensory overload.

You dominated the night without trying
And I imagine even the sun
-hidden underneath the world and our feet-
Was jealous or in love.

We walked wet streets
Grass peaking out
And drunk kids wandering by,
even the most beautiful of them
Must have felt like old rotting hags.

Big, endless eyes beamed your soul
Into my baby blues and we smiled often
There is no description for when
Souls collide and caress another,
But we felt ours coming alive.

Life is mostly colourless,
Often blurry and fuzzy,
But the right mix of inner and outer beauty
Is never out of focus or the colour of life.

You radiated colour
Love
Life,
And I hope the world doesn’t consume you.
