Hand in yours,
I walk quietly.
The sun in my eyes,
Packed dirt below my bare feet,
my throat closes with fear and uncertainty
Thoughts racing through the back of my mind
While the front holds back everything I never told you
And your grip loosens as you notice my fear
I never wanted to feel like this
I never wanted to tell you this
The Earth stands still
You stand still
And it's just me,
again,
As it is supposed to be.
I once told you forever
and I was trying to be as honest as I could
- but now I don't know
The wind is stopped
Light fragments as tangible as the leaf stuck in mid air
As the water molecules remnant in your exhale
I kiss you
Time starts once more
as the Earth begins to move under our feet
Your eyes grow wide
Then relax
and kiss back
My hand pushes you back,
Your arms hold me captive
Eyes promising me a tomorrow
While mine beg for an always
Lips lying about a yesterday
Without you
I won't
Forget you
I couldn't No matter how much I tried
But I expect that you could, me
You close your eyes
and I am gone
