Love’s gamble

I have turned around my life,
to take a pledge, to be true for

with scripted smiles performed for

neighbours. You’ll come back but for
secret excitement stolen from us
before leaving to mirage life.

Where was the loving life for us?

First times don’t always come

when she remembered his death.
