I remember saying
That there would
Come a time
When you would
No longer be
With me,
I had no idea
That it would
Begin
The next day…
Feeling across
Time & space
That you were
Avoiding me,
And being afraid
That I had done
The very thing
I was afraid
Of doing,
Scaring you
Away.
You weren't
The first
& I'm sure
you won't be
the last…
Life is short
& precious,
which is why
I take the time
To make love with
Those I may
Never be with
Again,
Though my heart
Will belong to
Them
Forever.
The Boy who
Moved to Texas.
The young man,
Shaped like Pan
Against the silhouette
Of the night sky.
The massage therapist,
Who left to cruise
Around the oceans.
The wife of the
Adulterer.
The redhead
With cascades
Of curls.
The Dark beauty
With the most
Kissable lips.
The Young
Tigress.
I am glad
I took the chance
For there
To be more
Light & love
On the single
Nights,
And breaks
Of dawn,
To make this
World a better
Place with
The one night &
Times of love
I had to offer,
But
It is bittersweet.
I remember,
I smile,
& cry a little,
because
I will always
Miss them.
