LIKE A...

like fine wine
he approached me
smooth and neatly dressed.
like wind to a newborn baby
he slowly took my breath away.
like a child on christmas eve
i was overcome by my own
anticipation.
like a thief in the night
he stealthily stole my heart away.
like a well played horror movie
it all came crashing down so quickly.
like a fool
i was left alone
with melodic memories.
like the last page
in a storybook
...it was the end.
