POEM: The Café in Paris

There was this time in Paris on Champs-Elysées,

You and I were sipping coffee at a corner café,

It was a bright morning,

We had an astonishing view of the Arc de Triomphe.

You looked into my eyes and said,

I love you,

And I looked into your eyes and said,

I love you too.
