7pm
You smiled at me
I smiled at you
I pulled you close
By the riverside
The traffic hummed like jets and tanks
Below the sky
You said you'd been thinking
That a place with a garden would be nice
I said someday soon my love
I said it twice
And you turned with the falling sun
Hard in your eyes
When the brightest light I'd ever seen
Exploded from the cafe to the right
And just like that
I was thrown into the river
There was fire and chairs and broken glass
And a dust full of glitter
And I saw you drop
Like a cup from a table
And I howled with every sorrow in the world
as if it was able
To stop that moment
As if it would just rewind
When the horrors of another man
Swallowed mine
Was our anniversary
And 11/22
Will always be
The day that I lost you
