My Forever For A While

by chiquita3946 - Libra

i'd drink you in
smile in silence
and stare into the eyes
i dared to read

i'd warm your hand and 
cool your lips and
trust your tongue when you
told me that
you valued me.

and now

my voice cacophanous to your
delicate ears;
my hands but shapeless flesh
hung limply at my sides...

yet I DON'T WISH to have your kiss
if i can have your smile
if i can have your careful words
to help me see.

to see i don't repulse you.
to see which truth to choose.

i don't wish to have your kiss if 
i can have your careful words to
help me see myself.

Reason for writing:

    things change. much to the dismay of many. but must they change forever? it may seem idealistic to look to the past, for oftentimes we romanticize it ad absurdium, but isn't that connection between two people enough to make it obvious that, merely because one stage of a relationship is over, it must not necessarily wholly conclude?
