The tighter you would hold me in your arms
The harder it would be when you slipped away
Again.
The closer you got to me
The more I could sense you ready to retract and leave
Again.
The elements on our side
The mesmerising shades of led light
The brisk air as we stood on my doorstep past midnight
We knew we were the only ones up
Again.
I asked you to promise me
Not to leave this time
For a second that look in your eye reassured me
Pure and gentle
Bliss
But then again,
This is how it felt last time,
And the time before that.
