how could you -
dangle your toes over the edge
throw open your arms
close your eyes and taste the wind?
was it worth it -
to feel your hair in a hurricane
eyes wide and watering
a heart beating fast and close to the surface?
i wish i knew -
if you thought of the sunrise
a golden blanket on the horizon
my arms around you, lips upon your smile
if i could -
tell you that i need you
make love with you one last time
or even say goodbye.
