• You take my hand
    And I hold my breath
    These moments are fleeting
    Barely time to memorize your warmth

    Absentmindedly we cling together
    Beautifully embraced.
    Like my breath,
    I don’t let go.

    Constantly changing
    Traveling in circles each time we meet.
    Forever living the life
    We use to dream of.

    The landslide begins
    As you slowly pull away
    Looking back are questioning gray eyes
    The clouds dance shadows on your face.

    And it’s over.
    Blood flows to my fingers as the tight grip releases
    A pat on the back
    A wink of a now teasing eye.

    All the what if’s are packed
    Hidden away like seasoned décor
    Eager wishes float away
    Carrying your drifting scent.
