Antoine ran up the stairs towards the apartment Agnes<\/p>\n
He was carrying flowers<\/p>\n
Flowers for Agnes<\/p>\n
For it was her birthday<\/p>\n
He knocked once<\/p>\n
Agnes opened her door<\/p>\n
She was wearing a lilac and lavender dress<\/p>\n
Which touched her toes<\/p>\n
She took the flowers and placed them in a vase<\/p>\n
In the distance through the open window<\/p>\n
Antoine could see the Eiffel Tower<\/p>\n
Shimmering in a blue heat mist<\/p>\n
He removed his jacket<\/p>\n
And then his tie<\/p>\n
And leapt from the balcony<\/p>\n
But he did not fall<\/p>\n
For Agnes was holding his trailing hand<\/p>\n
The flowers pink red and yellow<\/p>\n
Floated carelessly around the young lovers<\/p>\n
As they flew above the singing city<\/p>\n
Later when they had tired<\/p>\n
They lay on the balcony<\/p>\n
In each other\u2019s arms<\/p>\n
And watched the lilac and lavender dress<\/p>\n
Flying with a flock of migrating birds<\/p>\n
In a southerly direction<\/p>\n
