Lingering to Fall Away

You fell in love with me in Prague
Washed in the excitement of constant revelation
Caught up in how our bodies moved together
Soft light of evening spread through all our windows

A secret city, held back for centuries and you and me
Cobbles worn smooth with timeless hand held wanderings
Each turn catching breath, a romance that sees unclearly
Then home to throw our breath away in twisted sheets

It finally settles in, this love of place and conversation
Drifts to knowing all the streets, to having heard it all
Hearing it again, eyes no longer pulled away from seeing us
Centuries gone, revealing only you, stripped down to only me

Too strong a love of place, our hands linger, then fall away
