f l o r e n c e

i look longingly at the stars
as my feet graze the water
of the florence river

boats float past,
lit by the shining moon
of the italy sky

i thought you would be here
sitting by my side
as we rode through the city

sharing kisses
as we held hands
and looked lovingly in each other's eyes

but now i'm sitting alone
staring at my reflection in the water
as my tears ripple in the river
