Red

My head lay in your lap and I looked up into your shadow-covered face
The sun streaming through your hair
We were spinning, and above you I could see balloons
All shapes and all sizes, bright and blowing around
"Marry me" you said
"No," I replied. "You'd just break my heart."
You smiled and whispered, "I already have."
It was autumn, the leaves were falling, and everywhere was red
