fading light

Алекс Штейнберг
для М.

going down to the car,
you're already waiting downstairs,
and the twilight is deepening.

can't hear any trams,
and Grace Cathedral
looks like it's just waiting
for something to happen.

putting on my coat on the go,
it's gonna rain by nightfall.
catching my eye, you smile.

we both know where
we're headed tonight,
and we both know
how it's gonna end,

but in this fleeting moment,
surrounded by the fading light,
I'm determined to capture
and hold onto every detail,
every sensation, as if time itself
were slipping through my fingers.
