We laid in perfect silence
only broken by the occasional
"I can hear your heartbeat."

Just laying
breathing
listening

Getting a glimpse of our future
"I wish we could just stay here."
we whisper in the darkness
as our time runs out

When our time’s up
there are too many words
that I should say to fill you up
before I leave
to keep you full
until next time

But I will settle for “I love you and I promise I will see you soon.”

-S.G.
