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.
Thank you, Thomas
beautiful write lovely Willow there is nothing I regret more than not being fully present in the moment ❤️
It’s something my sweetie talks about a lot…being fully in the moment. We have a tendency, as humans, to get distracted by little things and miss the big moments. And once they’re gone, you can’t get them back. Thank you, Brenda 🧡
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.

I think the worse my ADHD gets, the more I struggle to stay present. And the worse the world gets, the less I want to be present. But it’s time we can’t get back and if we check out for even a minute, we could miss something deeply profound. Like waking up to the trailing edge of a glorious sunrise and knowing you missed a breathtaking view by mere moments. Thank you,my friend
