Obbligato bella

I first met her five weeks ago, made a nondescript impression, and left it at that. We met again several days later, I added to that nondescript impression, and left it at that. It was the same with several more meetings.

Then she talked about me filling up the empty spaces in her life. I realised she was revealing the same in mine.

I don't remember knowing such longing.

Suddenly her kisses are the sweetest wine, her absence the darkest void.
