we could spend our time talking
catching up on our day to day
going over little details
cover the minutiae
but that seems like such a waste
we have…right here
right now
no more than that
and who knows when you’ll be back
so let’s drop the illusion
that there’s any more time…
than…this
life offers no guarantees
so can’t we just…be?
when the ache gets too potent
and the need grows too great
you reach out
and I eagerly reciprocate
we express our emotions clearly
with each instinctively placed word
and every passionate kiss
as one of us drops to knees
and the other fumbles for a grip
clawing at the edges of sanity
while lips engulf and squeeze
tether stretched beyond bearing
we take these gifts with greed
so let’s not talk about tomorrow
yesterday already came and went
right now…
let’s just be present
ensuring our time is well spent
Powerful work. Tremendous.
beautiful write lovely Willow there is nothing I regret more than not being fully present in the moment ❤️
Passionately penned, Willow. Another excellent write my friend. There is no time like the present. I think as I get older I’m learning to enjoy the moments more. A very relatable read. Appreciate you.
