Neverending Longing
Why did today have to end
Why couldn’t it go on
The rhythm of your chest
The up and down
Our breathing becoming concerto
The entangling of our limbs
As we slowly fall asleep
But stay awake
As to feel everything happening
To feel everything ending so soon
Wondering when we’ll get the chance
To find our world in your sheets
Play out every love song
Make our fingers dance
On each other’s bodies
Watch the world grow quiet
And the snowflakes waltz
As you take my hand
Walk me to the bus stop
Kiss me one last time
And watch me leave
