They walked along
their steps somehow matching…
"I love him does he know that?"
She looked at him
then immediately
at her feet…
"I like the smell of her…
I like the comfort she brings…"
He stared constantly
at the grass
Fingering some coins
in his pocket…

"I want to have
a million walks with him
like this."
She reached out
and held his hand
"A million nights
of love
I want to give you…"
He wrapped his fingers 
tighter around hers…
