Beauty in the trees above <3

Beauty in the trees above,
The atmosphere that I love.
The yellows and the oranges soothing,
I can’t help but keep moving.
Beauty in the trees above.

I feel the freedom that I long for,
I can’t help it but want more.
But I’m not alone for long,
I can feel something is wrong.

Now I feel uneasy
Look around, feeling queasy.
I saw his sad face,
My heart was gaining pace.

Who was he? Mystery cluttered my mind.
I’d never seen a man of this kind.
Then he approached me, slow and calm.
I took steps towards him, sweating palms

But his perfect smile was the key,
Unlocked my heart and amazed me,
no longer felt defeated,
But it was then that he retreated.

“No!” I gasped wanting him to stay,
“Come back,” and he looked my way.
“what’s your name?” his voice was low.
“Elizabeth, and you?” my voice was slow.
Beauty in the trees above.

“Nathaniel,” tall, tight and trim.
I’d wanted to meet him,
I’d only ever caught a glance,
Never really had the chance.

The moisture was starting to fall,
“let’s take cover.” Trying to stall.
“alright” and we approached a large tree,
Crossed-leg on the grass feeling ever so free,

“Do you live here?” my voice was curious.
“quelquefois,” he looked mysterious.
“pardon?” confusion covering my face,
“Sorry,” he replied lightly in hast.

“I forget what I am saying at times.” He explained
“You’re French then are you?” I exclaimed.
He nodded and said “I’ve been meaning to do this,”
He smiled and said “I’ll give you this kiss.”

This had always been just a fantasy,
But now overwhelming ecstasy.
Alone with my true love,
in this forest,
Beauty in the trees above.

He leant in to my embrace,
His lips close to my face,
Heaven was my reality,
for a second, slipping into insanity.

But then he disappeared, like it had been fake,
My shock was met with the heartbreak.
For I knew he would never return,
And why would he? why return?

The years passed,
But my love would last.
I never returned because,
All that I was left with was,
Beauty in the trees above.
