we didn't share a moment nor an act; but a lifetime of longing and doubt.

She was mine for a moment. For once I was free.

Alas I could be.

Distance knows no pity

If only I knew

I would have loved you more

Goodbye.

for a second he is quiet

and then his face lights up and he laughs

We lay in the dark, in each others arms, discussing things too terrifying for light.

Infinite stars.

Too cold for outdoors.

You gave me the blanket.

My heart for yours.

Old songs from your childhood,

stories from back then too.

This short ride, remembered forever.

One of her hands in mine, one in yours, we shared her final breath, united.

Holding hands, we jumped in without hesitation.

She still hasn’t let go of my hands.
