It was here
In the deep green of the woods
With the fading sunlight spilling through branches like fire
That she smiled most.
It was here
That they walked further
Branches tugging insistently
Hands delicately exploring
As the crimson sun dipped away.
It was here
With the warm smells of earth and life
And the solemn call of a night
Full of promise.
It was here
They were free.
