I wish I’d known
When I cupped your face
Between my hands
And kissed your lips
That I was holding everything
All at once
Your skull crumbles to dust
Slips through my fingers
The right words
When we said goodbye
I should have known
It wasn’t right
But maybe there is no right
Time for goodbyes
Well not for you and I
Because we are forever
To have and to hold
A heart shaped rock
Maybe just a heart of stone
Made the same
There’s no questioning it
The magnetic pull
The moon the current
I’m pulled to you by it
That natural force
It wants me to love you
I want me to love you
Don’t you?
In my very core
I know that you do but
Do you know you do
I mean when the sole of
Your shoe hits the floor
Of another girls room
And your soul hits her soul
Do they melt together like ours?
Watercolors on canvas
Your blue my red
A deep deep purple
Or collide and repel
Two springs in space
And speaking of Spring
That's how long it's been
Since we kissed
And I’ve searched for you
Green in his eyes
Scar on his chin
Cherry cough drops on his breath
As he breathes down my neck
Begging for love I can’t give
You have it
Forever wasn’t an impulse
It wasn’t a lie
When I lay down at night
I think of that
A curse or a gift
Who knows?
If not you and not I
Maybe we would
The we that was
Not the one that is
I don’t recognize you
That sharp stab of knowing
That hurts
Every muscle in my body aches
For you
I would do it all again
Now I know it.
