An Angel, A Shirt And A Heart

Maybe they were a guardian angel
It wasn't too far-fetched
Because, when they led me around the broken down town, it felt like heaven
I can't get them out of my head
The white of my shirt whispered kisses on the wings of the warm wind
It wasn't pure white
The kind of white begging to be kissed by something much more than the wind
They left a stain on my shirt
And my heart
