IF ONLY WE KNEW, December 2019

And then… we’d rush into loneliness,

In the span of a single breath
we’d understand each other.
In the span of a single breath
we’d test each other.

We’d talk and talk, never done
We’d complain and walk, never gone

We’d learn to speak without touching.
Our hands would wander, finding new places
not for too long, no worries…just a pause.

Did you think it was to love or to touch touch?
No, no…no worries… just for the span of a single breath for stillness.

We’d stay a little more, knowing never enough.
We’d circle each other, knowing never to recover.
Ah, if only we knew…it would never be over..
