under an orange sky

it was cold then
and the air was full of snow then
and seamless clouds reflected orange city lights
and made a violent sky
on a violent night

we were in love then
and hope flew round like doves then
and seamless paths bisected a future clear & bright
and made us make a choice
on a violent night

it wasn't that we thought it was the only thing to do
it wasn't that we didn't see the ending coming through
it wasn't like we would have stayed together anyway
what's done is done and in the past of who we are today

but we were in love then
under an orange sky
