The birds fluttered away
He jumped off the ledge
Finding his footing on the balcony
He couldn't stop thinking of her
She was his every thought, his very existence.
He thought of the wedding to be and their life together
And that was the most important thing in the world
He knew what it was like to be alone
He thought back to when they had met
The red sparkling highlights in her hair
Her teeth, her eyes
Her long beautiful legs
A look at heaven in front of an ice cream truck
His world began and ended right there on the street
Quick kisses gave way to screams in the night
No brakes, just the two of them
Dashing between the cars in the pouring rain
Running through life faster and faster
Experiencing every moment for what it was worth
Exploring the city, exploring each other
They danced, they played, they loved
Like two birds in paradise
