Description
streetlights
and cigarette smoke
nights are made of these.
where warm bodies caress
in the meeting of strangers
within a bar, a nightclub;
a late night coffee shop.
my shoes slid against
damp pavement
the grit of city streets
with eyes wide;
eager to take in
the world surrounding him.

it wasn't so long that
the technicolor daydream
of urban neon and
well-dressed individuals
surrounded us together.
when the body melting
against mine
smelled like sweat and
moved like liquid
to the backbeat
and the bass lines
of a band performing
metropolitan hymns
for the masses.

however, all that exists
is streetlights
and cigarette smoke
in the confines of a city
i am both connected to
and hopelessly divorced from.
you seemed to be
the only other person
who understood it with me.

and so
i say to you, my dear
thank you
for the memories
of late nights, drinks,
and the passion
that often followed
our excursions
to the centre
of the city
in the night.

i still walk
solitary
across concrete pathways
waiting for you.
