Working in isolation
our love built itself up
from almost nothing
brushed against the end of winter
just before spring kissed the air

playing a secret with
everything we felt 
throughout that summer
with laughter stealing
each other hearts

and then autumn 
when a innocent picture
revealed more 
than either of us expected
into a explosion of feelings

and now almost a year later
returning into autumn
the clues of those seasons
leave evidence of  a story unstudied
all over what went before

a hourglass turned upside down
as if to start a race 
only to fall off suddenly a table 
in a turning point of a film
completely changing everything

and a love that didn’t 
just build up slowly over time
from almost nothing
but a feeling that was there
right from the beginning.
