One last kiss
long but sweet.

I move away
with memories.

soon
we  s l o w down.
the last of our fiery red streak
faintly visible across the room.

S ometimes situations sneak around behind me
C ausing more frustration than my cup can hold,
R endering my calm demeanor less and less with

Of acceptance from my peers
But you showed me that I shouldnt worry about all the stars in the night sky
When I had the love of the full moon
