From an enchanting afternoon to "you weren't mine to lose"

I drank coffee; your nervous laugh
Watching you speak, your brow danced
Banter played, now you've relaxed

Our chapters read. What comes next?
Paths divert, we neglect
Heart and stomach tight- "him too?"
Over the table
We kiss
Fin.

More
Carless we made
Hours a time, faces on screen
Muscle on my face, I'd forgotten
My chest, how'd you do?
"Can we meet again?"

"See where is goes"
Drive an hour
On the couch, your heart sounds
Your chest, sanctuary
My sin, habitual greed
Desire more

The day, not to plan
Nail in rubber, no matter
The couch, we stay
The TV, play
Our bodies one
A kiss, my familiar
A hug, goodbye

"We need to talk"
My heart drops
Divergent storyline, no compromise
"Think on it"
You've decided
Our hearts, akin desire
Yet still goodbye

Understood
Mature of you
Yet no ease
Only 2 weeks
Wasn't love
"Spanning skylines in my mind"
It would've been

A week after
Ever blind
"You weren't mine to lose"
A fantasy's died
Silly me

Your beauty
Etched in mind
We would've been...
Should've...
Could've...
Love

Tonight
Alone
My pillow, sanctuary
A fantasy, I dream
Goodbye
