I loved you for only an hour
it feels like
although I spent 3 years
denying Christmas cards
meant more than just friends
a thousand days once wasted
whispering your name
beneath my breath
Twice as many times
as I moaned for them in bed
I loved you for only a minute
I’ll say
30 years later
with a box of your letters
and a moment of silent wonder
for whose bed
you snore in every night
I loved you for only a second
I feel
for our days weren’t enough
and yet I had too much
I will love you until the day
I hate bacon and cheese,
until the sun and moon
fall from the sky
