You went by 

in a sneeze 

that time turned 

into wind rushing 

under leaves 



to quietly incite 

then it burst from me 

as i gathered flowers 

falling for the breeze 



breath in your smile 

behind a tree 

blended with petals 

and dreams 



but you won't notice 

until the fall 

when you come to see 

the girl left behind 

leaves
