Kitsune.

Long hair,

Glasses,

Slender,

Hidden playfulness

In a single smile.

I picked her out in a

Cacophony, crowded with many tongues

Bird cages,

And shadowed narrow streets.

Pretending like I knew the ropes

Though she was the one

I believed in love at first sight.

She giggled at all my jokes,

Wore anything and nothing,

Still looking delicious and innocent.

I loved her

Even when she forgot me

In between my letters, flowers,

And other memories.

Even now, it’s true.
