Based on the poem “Timing” by Jonathan Steffen.
She brushed his elbow,
Coloured slightly,
Breathed his name:
‘Too late,’ he said.
She wrote him letters,
Loved him madly,
Blessed his name:
‘Too late,’ he said.
He kept her letters,
Weakened slightly,
Sighed her name:
‘Too late,’ he said.
He caught her elbow,
Coloured madly,
Screamed her name:
‘Too late,’ she said
