She looked at his forehead and said
"The people in your city are intelligent."
He looked at her hands and said,
"Your city is clean and small!"
She looked in his eyes and said,
"A fresh breeze blows through your city"
He looked at her hair and said,
"There's a lovely river in yours."
She drew in her breath at his smile and asked,
"Why are the people in your city so happy?"
He watched her as she walked and said,
"Deer prance in your city."
She walked into his arms and said,
"You city is very warm."
He held her close and said,
"There are flowers in your city."
She closed her eyes and said,
"Evenings come too soon in your city."
He closed his eyes and said,
"There's a lullaby in yours."
When it was time to leave, she said,
"I wish I could come to your city."
And he replied,
"I wish I could come to yours."

Their cities disappeared from the map.
