Two lonely, only children,
each in their bedrooms, unable to sleep.
Both standing at their windows,
opposite each other, a vigil to keep.
Each night around eight thirty,
these two young faces appeared,
taking comfort in each other,
from a world of isolation they feared.
First one would give a gentle wave,
from his side of the back street,
followed by a wave from her,
standing on oilcloth in her bare feet.
Their expressions not distinguishable,
only outlined silhouette shapes,
could be recognised by moonlight,
from inside their hanging drapes.
This became a nightly ritual,
each shivering in dressing gowns,
until, when comforted by visual contact,
they retreated under their eiderdowns.
